Representatives from more than 110 countries have confirmed that they will attend the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in October, said Mao Ning, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, on September 19.
Mao made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked about the preparations for the forum.
The events during the forum include the opening ceremony, three high-level forums on connectivity, green development and digital economy, and six thematic forums on trade connectivity, people-to-people connectivity, think tank exchanges, clean Silk Road, subnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, according to Mao.

A CEO conference is also to be held, said Mao, adding that preparation for the forum is well underway.
The trio will conduct a series of experiments in fields such as life science, fluid physics, combustion science and materials science. Notably, this is the first time that fruit flies have been taken on a Chinese space mission as experimental subjects. What made scientists choose fruit flies? What experiment will they undergo?
