Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on the 6th that China is willing to work with all parties to continue to uphold the concept of consultation, joint construction and sharing, and build the "Belt and Road" into a "happy road" that benefits the world and a "dream factory" that realizes the common modernization of all countries.

At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: This year, a lot of important progress has been made in the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and has attracted great attention from the international community. American economist Saxophone said in an interview this week that he is a staunch supporter of the "Belt and Road" initiative and that China is promoting global infrastructure development. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this? Can we introduce the achievements of this year's high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road"?

Lin Jian said that over the past year, the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has achieved real and heavy results. China and many countries have signed cooperation documents on jointly building the "Belt and Road" and established the secretariat of the "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, and established more than 30 multilateral cooperation platforms in professional fields such as energy, taxation, and disaster reduction. In the first 10 months of this year, the cumulative trade volume between China and the countries jointly established reached 16.94 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.2%. The amount of contracts signed by Chinese enterprises in the country jointly established exceeded 1 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.1%. The China-Europe cross-Caspian Express has officially launched, with the total number of China-Europe freight trains running more than 100,000 trains, and more than 11 million standard boxes of goods sent, with a cargo value of over US$420 billion. The Western Land-Sea New Passage Freight Train transported more than 800,000 standard containers of goods this year, reaching 542 ports in 125 countries and regions around the world.

Lin Jian said that at the fourth symposium on the construction of the "Belt and Road" a few days ago, Chinese leaders pointed out that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" "the field of cooperation is constantly expanding, the scope of cooperation is constantly expanding, and the level of cooperation is constantly improving. International appeal, influence and cohesion are constantly increasing, and major achievements have been made, and China has made contributions to enhancing the friendship between building a country and promoting the economic and social development of building a country together."

He said that over the years, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has given Maldives a cross-sea bridge, Africa has electrified railways, and the Port of Piraeus regained its vitality. The Peruvian Qiankai Port has become the first smart and green port in South America. The Jakarta-Bangkok High-speed Railway has brought Indonesia into the "high-speed rail era", and the China-Laos Railway has made Laos' "rail dream" come true. A large number of people-friendly projects such as Luban workshop, mushroom grass technology, water purification equipment transformation, solar power stations, etc. have greatly improved local living conditions.

Lin Jian said that the purpose of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is to bring opportunities to jointly build countries to enjoy the world and hope for development and revitalization to the global south. China is willing to work with all parties to continue to uphold the concept of consultation, joint construction and sharing, coordinate "big infrastructure" and "small but beautiful", combine "freehand painting" and "fine brushwork", and build the "Belt and Road" into a "happy road" that benefits the world and a "dream factory" that realizes the common modernization of all countries.
