As a growing internationalized port city，Lianyungang was an important exit of the ancient Maritime Silk Road and the oriental bridgehead of the Land Silk Road. As President Xi Jinping put forward the strategic conception of joint construction of “the Silk Road Economic Belt” on the 7th of September 2013，Lianyungang delayed no time to sign a cooperation agreement with a Kazakhstan’s state-owned railway company on the joint construction of a supply chain base project. Taking this opportunity，Lianyungang has entered the national strategy field. For an effective participation in the national strategy，Lianyungang has explored and formed a relatively comprehensive idea for planning the participation in the construction，which is mainly as follows：making the Sino-Kazakh supply chain transfer base construction close to completion；drawing a systematic layout of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s seafaring base and comprehensively consolidating functions such as international supply chain，domestic and foreign trade，industrial cooperation，business service and people’s cultural exchange. Taking “the Belt and Road” as general strategic guidance，Lianyungang has mainly joined specific implementation of the construction such as：positively boosting infrastructural construction by taking this strategic opportunity，improving transportation capacity；focusing on developing pragmatic cooperation；engaging in multi-dimensioned exchanges，enhancing cooperative awareness，heightening actual strength in itself；upgrading the influence propagation and the leadership ability. At present，there are some problems with Lianyungang’s participation in the construction such as a comprehensive transport has not formed yet，weakness in marine economy，and the eastern-central-western regional cooperation mechanism not smoothed yet.
