Back in 1870s, China Merchants Group (CMG) sent Chinese students to the United States to study western science and engineering. The move greatly contributed to China's modernization in various industries. In turn, now CMG is providing training programs to young people along the Belt and Road Initiative countries and regions in an aim to boost global development. China Merchants C-Blue Training Program (C-Blue Training Program), introduced by CMG and its subsidiary China Merchants Port (CMPort) in 2016, is one of such programs.


C-Blue Training Program is to build interaction platform for global port and shipping industry personnel, to help them gain knowledge, broaden vision, and develop friendship. The one-month program provides lectures from professional institutions in China coupled with field visits to leading terminals in the country. The vision of the program is to pursue a blue dream of common prosperity under the Belt and Road Initiative.


As of now, 188 participants from 21 countries such as Sri Lanka and Djibouti, were invited to China in the past 5 years to join the C-Blue Training Program. All trainees felt amazed by what they have learned and experienced in the program. In their feedbacks, they gained insights of the latest technological trends in the port and shipping industry, learned about Chinese culture, and exchanged knowledge through communication and camaraderie. They also believed that what they have learned from the program would greatly help with their work and benefit industry development in their countries. Thanks to the effect and influence brought about by the program, in 2020, C-Blue Training Program was recognized as a leading brand building practice by SASAC, China's state assets supervising body, and was awarded a charity prize at a city level by Shenzhen government.
