In 2017, the Central Conservatory of Music took the lead in establishing the "Belt and Road" Music Education Alliance, which was recognized as one of the 270 achievements of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by the Chinese government.

The alliance has organized two sessions of conference in 2017 and 2019, emphasizing the pivotal role of music education in advancing cultural exchanges among the BRI countries.
