Fujian province will utilize its inherent advantages to strengthen the development of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, top local government officials said during the 2014 International Investment Forum, held as part of the ongoing 18th China International Fair for Investment and Trade in Xiamen.
The old maritime Silk Road began in Quanzhou, home of the East's biggest port, during the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties.
Around 7.9 million overseas Chinese can trace their roots back to Quanzhou, and more than 90 percent of them are living in Southeast Asia.Â
