The book comprises the research papers presented by scholars from various countries, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh at UIC's 2nd interdisciplinary Forum on Belt-Road Connectivity and Eurasian Integration: Meeting the Culture. It explores the development from the Silk Road to the Belt and Road Initiative from angles of history, religion, language, culture and more. Dr Islam said the book views the Initiative as a civilisational development process that originated on the ancient Silk Road, fostering human interaction and cultural exchanges.

The book was originally written in English and was published by an international publisher, Springer, in 2019. It is now included in a series containing the latest academic research results of the Initiative, which is taken charge of by Hunan Normal University in cooperation with the China South Publishing and Media Group.
