| Some fifty potential Silk Roads Heritage Corridors have been identified, with twenty corridors being considered as a medium priority, while three corridors within the five Central Asian countries and China are recommended as a top priority for the first phase of the serial and trans-boundary World Heritage Nomination of the Silk Roads at the 2nd meeting of the Coordinating Committee of the Serial World Heritage Nomination of the Silk Roads, which has been successfully convened in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, from 3 to 6 May 2011. This meeting brought together more than fifty representatives from twelve countries: Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The meeting reviewed the progress of the nomination process in considering the new guidance on trans-boundary serial nominations; and also reviewed and discussed the Thematic Study on the Silk Roads conducted by ICOMOS with a bibliography provided by the twelve present Asian countries, and further consolidated the nomination strategy. The participants of the meeting reached a mutual understanding on the accomplishments, which are needed to achieve the Silk Roads heritage corridors approach proposed by the ICOMOS Thematic Study, and to prioritize the heritage corridors between the Central Asian countries and China for the first phase of the World Heritage nomination. The participants of the meeting expressed in the adopted Ashgabat Agreement that the transnational nomination dossiers of the first phase should be submitted by February 2013, and it was therefore agreed that the next meeting of the Coordinating Committee should take place before September 2012. |
