00:00On a very specific date in 2019, my wife and I discovered that we were born at opposite ends of the Silk Road.
00:12And that was because of a newspaper article written by the Chinese ambassador to the UK at the time, Liu Xiaoming,
00:19who identified Macclesfield and said that its position as the western end of the Silk Road
00:26offered opportunities for our two countries to engage in a more productive way.
00:31And that has led me to bring my wife back to my hometown and connect it to the ancient Silk Road,
00:40I felt was an important starting point for the creation of the Silk Road Foundation.
