President Xi Jinping recently delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the third Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum, announcing China's eight actions to support high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road, emphasizing that China is willing to deepen the "Belt and Road" cooperative partnership with all parties, promote the joint construction of the Belt and Road into a new stage of high-quality development, and make unremitting efforts to achieve modernization of countries around the world.
Experts and scholars interviewed by our reporter said that this summit forum is another important milestone in the process of jointly building the "Belt and Road". President Xi Jinping’s keynote speech injects new impetus into deepening international cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative, and contributes wisdom and strength to all countries working together to build an open, inclusive, interconnected and common development world.
Over the past 10 years, the "Belt and Road" international cooperation has flourished from nothing to something, and has achieved fruitful results. "Why can the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative be widely responded to by the international community? Because it has activated the dream of countries around the world, especially developing countries, to independently explore the path of modernization." Wang Yiwei, deputy director of the Institute of Research on the Study of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, said that China is comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization. What China pursues is not a self-disciplined modernization, but a joint realization of modernization with all countries, including the vast number of developing countries. The experience of Chinese-style modernization is being shared with all countries through jointly building the "Belt and Road", which greatly inspires the confidence of developing countries in the path of modernization that conforms to their respective national conditions.
Su Xiaohui, an associate researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, said that at present, the changes in the world, the changes in the times, and the changes in history are being carried out in unprecedented ways, and the Silk Road spirit of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit and win-win is extremely precious. "China sees that the trend of the times of peaceful development and win-win cooperation has not changed; some countries engage in unilateralism and protectionism, and often pull "small circles" and "decoupling and breaking chains" are not feasible. The joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative has become China's solution to participate in global open cooperation, promote global common development and prosperity, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind." Su Xiaohui said that over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has transformed from concepts to action, from vision to reality, and the results have benefited more than 150 countries, promoted the economic and social development of the joint construction of the country, and became the most popular international public product and the largest international cooperation platform in the world today. The third "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum was held at the time node of the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative. This is not only a summary of the past decade, but also a new starting point.
"Eight actions have clarified the work priorities of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative in the future, and provided guidance for jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative to achieve higher quality and higher level new development." Hu Biliang, executive dean of the Belt and Road Initiative College of Beijing Normal University, said that over the past 10 years, jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative has promoted infrastructure construction, brought new investment, created employment opportunities, enhanced the sense of gain and happiness of the people of the co-construction country, and promoted economic globalization to a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction. He said that connectivity, green development, digital economy, etc. will be the key directions for promoting the high-quality development of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and promoting global sustainable development in the future. China will hold the "Global Digital Trade Expo" every year, hold the first "Belt and Road" Science and Technology Exchange Conference, the "Liangzhu Forum", establish the Silk Road Tourism City Alliance, and establish the Summit Forum Secretariat, etc., which fully demonstrates that China is a firm "action faction".
The 10-year journey has proved that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has stood on the right side of history, conformed to the logic of the progress of the times, and followed the right path on earth. During the forum, all parties formed a total of 458 results, far exceeding the second summit forum. "The fruitful results reflect that the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative is in line with the development interests of the people of all countries." Hu Biliang said that the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative has gone through the first vigorous decade, and is in its prime. We will surely strive for the next golden decade, bringing more welfare to the people of the country jointly built.
