The summit’s vaguely-worded conclusions after marathon talks in Brussels gave no details of what the “controlled centres” would look like or which states might volunteer to host them, but diplomats said they could resemble “improved versions” of existing – and heavily criticised – EU “hotspots” set up in Greece and Italy.

BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel argued Friday that she has secured enough progress on migration issues to end a dispute with a conservative ally that has shaken the German government. The country's most influential business organizations backed her stance, urging Germany's ruling coalition to halt the bickering that they said could hurt the country's economy. Merkel came away from a European Union summit with agreements for Greece and Spain to take back migrants previously registered in those countries who arrive at Germany's borders, as well as an overall agreement by the 28-bloc to help ease the pressure of migration into Europe.

During the expo, a comprehensive series of concurrent events will be held, including promotion activities, business match-making sessions, and performances highlighting the folk culture and customs of several of the attending countries. Highlight 1: Specialty products of the participating countries will be on display The event will feature two National Pavilions, one located in the Central Hall and the other in East Hall 2F. In the Central Hall, an introduction to the many cultures that now line the same routes that were, once upon a time, the ancient Silk Road, will be given, along with some "hands-on" experience activities, giving attendees a real feel to each of the cultures. Business match-making and commerce-related communication and cooperation will be staged in East Hall 2F.

There will also be a picture selection campaign aired through WeChat moments to share the best photos taken onsite by attendees. Highlight 4: Expanding into western China by establishing a footprint in Chongqing Following the success of last year's exhibition, this year's expo will be presented as a tour event, giving interested audiences from outside of the Shanghai region an opportunity to experience the specialty products and national cultures of the participating countries. As a result, in addition to the Shanghai expo, the organizers plan to host an exhibition tour in Chongqing from November 23 to November 25, 2018. Chongqing is located at the junction of China's three major economic zones: the Silk Road Economic Belt, the China-Indochina Peninsula Economic Corridor, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. With the construction of the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe International Railway, Chongqing has become an important location connecting three vast economic agglomerations: Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The organizers plan to expand into the western Chinese market and investigate the local business environment along with the exhibitors, in a move to provide unprecedented demonstration and exchange opportunities for both Chinese and international companies seeking to expand into the Chinese market. Visit the Belt & Road Brand Expo 2018 from June 29 to July 1, 2018 to get up-close and personal with products from the 42 participating countries worldwide and experience their vibrant cultures.
