From September 16th to 17th, the 2025 "Belt and Road" Media Cooperation Forum was held in Kunming. During the forum’s “Scenario Telling” session, many representatives of major projects shared their stories about their Belt and Road Initiative.

Cloud News has compiled some exciting stories

Alshubach 2.6GW photovoltaic power plant project

Starting date: May 2025

Driven by the initiative of jointly building the "Belt and Road" to jointly build the "Belt and Road", China's experience and equipment have been implemented in the Arab region.

“We see that under the Belt and Road Initiative, more and more countries are actively engaged in cooperation in the field of clean energy, promoting global energy transformation, and working together to contribute to global sustainable development.”

——Ma Chi, General Manager of Saudi Branch of China Energy Construction International Group

"Like the blue lotus in the desert, blooming in the sea of ​​sand." Ma Chi described the 2.6GW photovoltaic power plant project in Alshubach, Saudi Arabia, built by their team. When employees saw photovoltaic panels from the satellite map, they were like seeing blue lotus, a plant that was originally a water-borne plant, now miraculously "opened" to the desert, just like the project itself - it was a miracle.

This project is located in the heart of the Middle East desert. It not only has the world's largest mobile desert-Rubhali Desert, but also has strong winds and dust that covers the sky and the extreme high temperatures up to 50°C. It was in such an environment that the team quickly completed the installation of more than 810,000 pile foundations in less than 8 months, which fully reflects China's speed.

Datang Buka Photovoltaic Project

Construction date: June 2025

China's technological advantages match Uzbekistan's resources and needs, not only bringing green electricity to the public, but also connecting the cooperation link between the two countries even tighter.

"At that time, many colleagues were not accustomed to the local environment and vomiting and diarrhea, but we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, had the energy to do demonstration projects and excellent projects if you want to do it!"

——Zhao Xingtao, engineering management manager and engineer of the Buka Photovoltaic Project in Uzbekistan, Datang Group

"Standing on the Gobi Desert in Buka District, Tashkent Prefecture, Uzbekistan, the photovoltaic panels that are endless at a glance are like golden 'sea of ​​light' - this is one of the largest single-scale photovoltaic projects in Central Asia built by our China Datang and Ukraine, the Datang Buka Photovoltaic Project." Speaking of this project, Zhao Xingtao unconsciously revealed his sense of pride - China's technology not only connects the green electricity here, but also ties the cooperation link between the two countries closer. Especially in terms of quality, each photovoltaic bracket has a slight angle and is very firm. In terms of innovation, China's leading photovoltaic tracking support system was introduced to allow photovoltaic panels to circumvent the sun like "sunflowers", greatly improving power generation efficiency.

The Buca area is minus 20°C in winter and the surface is 50°C in summer. When the wind and sand come, the eyes cannot be opened. But now, looking at this "sea of ​​light", he felt from the bottom of his heart that all his persistence was worth it!

Myanmar's "electric village" photovoltaic demonstration project

Dedicated: September 2023

Chinese central enterprises have a "big thing about the country" in mind, actively promote the green transformation of international energy, and help third-world developing countries solve the problem of poverty governance.

"In order to send dozens of photovoltaic panels and hundreds of meters of cables into the mountain village, six engineers carried their shoulders at high temperatures of more than 30°C, and more than ten trips to the mountain roads, with red marks on their shoulders and sweat soaked the work clothes..."

——Yin Dingyong, an employee of Kachin State Office, Yunnan International Yunnan Western Regional Branch

"Today I will tell you the story of a small mountain village called Yejue in Myanmar." Yin Dingyong used a story to show China's determination to do things. It is this determination that makes this small mountain village no longer a "electric village".

On the evening of September 23, 2023, State Power Investment Corporation's first photovoltaic demonstration project in Myanmar was completed and put into operation, ending the history of "electric village" here. When the lights at home lighted up for the first time, the children in Yejue Village chased the light spots and circled, as if they reached out to catch stars. This beam of light made them bid farewell to the night when there were only moonlight and insects in their ancestors. After power on, the night has a new look: the rustling sound of children doing homework under the lights, and the laughter of the old man shaking his palm-leaf fan, all of whom are answering: Poverty reduction means laying the "capillaries" of energy deep into the folds of the earth, so that the right to development can reach every corner. And all of this is the light that the Chinese people deliver to the world with their determination and technology.

Bogota Metro Line 1

First car shipping time: June 2025

This is the largest rail transit project in Latin America won by a Chinese company in international bidding. Bogota's subway dream has become a reality for 80 years.

"Short after construction started, a sparrow eagle nest was discovered. In order to protect the growth of young eagles, the project immediately suspended construction in the area and waited for the young birds to flourish and spread their wings to soar."

——Xie Shuang, representative of China Communications Communications Group

The story shared by Xie Shuang happened during the construction of Bogota Metro Line 1 under the construction of China Harbor. This project was the largest infrastructure project in Latin America and also a people's livelihood project jointly built by China and Colombia on the Belt and Road Initiative. Now, it is bringing the 70-year subway dream of 8 million Bogota citizens into reality. The first train of the Bogota subway was named "Gaby" - "Gaby", and the reason was related to the Sparrow Eagle Nest.

The Sparrow Eagle Nest was discovered. Not only did the construction be suspended in the area, the project also asked biologists to carefully protect them for three months, because the Sparrow Eagle is called "Gavilán" in Spanish, and colleagues cordially called it "Gaby". China Communications Construction Group designed Andean-style and made-in-China subway vehicles with this inspiration, and named it. It planted 5,000 trees in the "Gaby" young nest and project area, greening 16,000 square meters of green space. It is hoped that one day, "Gaby" and its descendants will return to this green home with zero carbon emissions and reproduce.

"This story is just a microcosm of the 'harmony and symbiosis' on the Belt and Road Initiative." Xie Shuang said that China is using its actions to write the story of "friends, neighbors, and Uccai" and jointly build a green development.

Promote the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative

There must be "hard connectivity" of infrastructure

"Soft Unicom" of Rules and Standards

There must also be a "heart connection" for the people of the country and jointly build

Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed

Major projects

From blueprint to reality

They improve local infrastructure conditions

Become a country along the route

Important support for economic development and improving people's well-being
