On the opening ceremony, dean Di Dehai gave an opening speech, in which he pointed out that under the auspices of Chinese Academy of Engineering and UNESCO International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Sciences and Technology (IKCEST), Silk Road Training Base has committed itself to cultivating international talents. He hoped that scientific and technological knowledge will be disseminated to all corners of the world through the Training Programme for Silk Road Engineering Science and Technology Development. Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, China should strengthen exchange with other countries along the Silk Road to build a better world together.

穆赫德与IKCEST丝路培训基地代表团对两校开展合作进行深入交流。他表示希望能与西安交通大学开展深入合作，与西安交通大学共享教育资源。代表团成员对双方间的合作充满信心，表明继续教育学院将全力推动两校间的合作相关事宜落实。

联合国教科文组织国际工程科技知识中心（简称“国际知识中心”“IKCEST”）是联合国教科文组织下属二类中心，2014年6月在北京成立，依托中国工程院建设，旨在面向世界各国尤其是发展中国家的政策制定者、广大工程科技工作者提供咨询、科研、教育等知识服务。2017年2月，国际知识中心依托西安交通大学，设立“IKCEST丝路培训基地”，为“一带一路”沿线国家培养工程科技人才。

The International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Sciences and Technology (shortened as “IKCEST”) is a category II centre under the auspices of UNESCO. IKCEST was established on June 2, 2014. The Chinese Academy of Engineering is responsible for the operation and management of the IKCEST. IKCEST aims at providing knowledge-based services at a global scale in the form of consultation, scientific research and education for policy-makers and engineering science and technology professionals in the world, with particular reference to the developing countries. In February, 2017, based in Xi'an Jiaotong University, IKCEST Silk Road Training Base was established, which aims to train more engineering and technological talents for Belt-road countries.
