Chinese President Xi Jinping is urging for stronger global connections and cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aiming to create opportunities and development across participating countries. At a recent symposium on BRI development, President Xi emphasized the importance of working together courageously and responsibly to build a brighter future.
Launched in 2013, the BRI is a massive global development strategy involving infrastructure and investment projects that stretch from East Asia to Europe and beyond. It has already contributed to enhancing friendships and boosting economic and social growth in many countries. “It’s important to strengthen our confidence and focus, acting with courage to advance our shared goals,” Xi said.
In light of global challenges and uncertainties, President Xi highlighted the need to manage risks and address geopolitical conflicts effectively. He called for a balanced approach that ensures participating countries feel fulfilled while also safeguarding China’s interests. By advancing high-quality cooperation, the BRI seeks to create win-win outcomes for all involved.
