(ECNS)--The opening ceremony of the 7th Colorful World - Cultural Exhibition of Countries along the Belt and Road was held at Shougang Park during the 2022 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, on Thursday.

What's more, a total of 12 art performances will be staged, in forms of folk operas, folk music, and acrobatics.
