Xinjiang is uniquely located in the core area of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and is a strategic barrier in the western part of China. As China's “One Belt, One Road” initiative continues to advance, the demand for meteorological services along the route is also growing rapidly, requiring the Urumqi Institute of Desert Meteorology/Silk Road Meteorological Research Institute of the China Meteorological Administration to have a globalized vision and capability.

After years of reform and development, the Institute has achieved remarkable results in the advantageous and characteristic disciplines of desert meteorology, tree annual cycle climate hydrology, etc., and its international influence has been expanding; the construction of scientific and technological support platforms has made historical breakthroughs, and it owns scientific and technological support platforms such as the National Field Scientific Observatory, the Key Laboratory of the China Meteorological Administration, and the Key Experiment of the Autonomous Region; the regional high-resolution numerical prediction model system has strongly supported the Xinjiang precision The regional high-resolution numerical forecasting model system strongly supports Xinjiang's accurate forecasting business; the talent team continues to grow, and the construction of scientific and technological innovation team is fruitful.

In the future, we will uphold the camel spirit of the old generation of scientific and technological workers, which emphasizes “special hardship, special combat, special dedication, special unity and special endurance”, and practice the motto of “innovation, unity and cooperation, hard-working, honesty and truth-seeking”, and base ourselves on the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Based on the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and facing the major national strategies, people's production and life, and the needs of the world's forefront of meteorological science and technology, the Institute integrates regional scientific and technological strengths, deepens the reform of the scientific and technological system and mechanism, improves the meteorological science and technology innovation system, and strengthens the capability of scientific and technological independent innovation. We will continue to gather and cultivate outstanding scientific and technological talents, enhance international influence, and build a research platform with distinctive disciplinary characteristics, fruitful R&D results, efficient operation and management, excellent research team, and significant international influence, so as to provide high quality meteorological services and high quality development of China's meteorological industry for Central Asia, West Asia, and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor in the construction of the “One Belt, One Road”. It will provide scientific and technological support for meteorological services in the construction of “Belt and Road” for Central and West Asia and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the high-quality development of China's meteorological industry, and the social stability and long-term peace and stability of Xinjiang.
