2023-10-12
The joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" for 10 years has stimulated the enthusiasm of more than 150 countries to realize their dreams and brought remarkable and profound changes to the world. On the 10th, the State Council Information Office released a white paper entitled "Jointly Building the the Belt and Road: A Major Practice in Building a Community with a Shared Future for Humanity", revealing the "success code" of this important initiative. The international community believes that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" opens up new space for world economic growth, expands new practices for improving global governance, and makes new contributions to improving people's well-being. It looks forward to witnessing the continuous cohesion of strong joint forces in the joint construction of countries, promoting the stability and long-term development of high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", and working together to pave a broader road of common development and prosperity. The white paper on global public goods that has profoundly changed the world says that the "the Belt and Road Initiative" focuses on connectivity, takes the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure as an important direction, takes the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards as an important support, and takes the "heart to heart connectivity" of the people of the country as an important foundation. It constantly deepens policy communication, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people to people connectivity, and constantly expands cooperation fields, becoming the world's broadest and largest international cooperation platform. "The essence and purpose of the the Belt and Road Initiative is to promote common development and achieve common prosperity," said Yersudan Ranchetov, a researcher at the Kazakhstan Institute of World Economy and Politics. Today, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has promoted the major transformation of Cambodia's infrastructure. "Over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the" the Belt and Road "has injected strong impetus into Cambodia's infrastructure construction, economic development and transformation." Sen Sang, a policy analyst at the Royal Cambodian Academy of Sciences, said, taking the West Hanouk Port Special Economic Zone project as an example, pointing out that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has made Cambodia a key hub of ASEAN trade and connectivity, "significantly improved Cambodia's connectivity with the ASEAN region, promoted trade and attracted foreign direct investment, created employment opportunities, and promoted Cambodia's economic growth". When it comes to jointly building the "the Belt and Road", Peter Gazinowski, the former chairman of the Poland China Friendship Group of the Polish Parliament, first thought of the China Europe Train. The flagship project and landmark brand of the the Belt and Road Initiative have reached more than 200 cities in 25 European countries. "The China Europe freight train has played an important role in strengthening the connectivity between Europe and China and promoting trade exchanges." Gazinovsky said that the China Europe freight train is conducive to stabilizing the international industrial and supply chains. It not only has a positive impact on the development of Poland's domestic transportation and other infrastructure, but also brings tangible benefits to other countries along the route. "The the Belt and Road Initiative attaches great importance to people to people connections and regards them as the foundation of society." Felhart Asif, Director of the Institute of Peace and Diplomacy in Islamabad, Pakistan, spoke highly of the achievements of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" in the fields of talent training and people to people and cultural exchanges. "China and the co founded countries jointly create a platform for people to people and cultural cooperation and exchange, share cultural, scientific and technological, educational experiences and achievements, and learn from each other in agriculture, traditional medicine, art and other fields, which is conducive to promoting inclusiveness and harmony among countries." In the view of Willem Pachaun Paddy, director of Thailand China the Belt and Road Research Center, the co founded "the Belt and Road" initiative has "profoundly changed the world" in 10 years. "As a global public product widely welcomed by the international community, the joint construction of the the Belt and Road is a major practice of building a community with a shared future for mankind, which has promoted the connectivity of countries in all aspects and in many fields, and brought new development ideas and opportunities to all countries." Willen believes that China adheres to openness and inclusiveness, promotes investment and financing facilitation, and enables developing countries to obtain the help they need for development. "This is a tangible win-win situation.". Bringing More Certainty and Stability to the World The white paper said that over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has achieved remarkable results, opened up new space for world economic growth, built a new platform for international trade and investment, improved the development capacity and well-being of relevant countries, expanded new practices for improving the global governance system, and brought more certainty and stability to a troubled world. Jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has not only developed China, but also benefited the world. Onunaiju, Director of the Nigerian China Research Center, said that development is the "golden key" to solving many problems in Nigeria and even in Africa as a whole. "The initiative of jointly building the the Belt and Road has brought Nigeria important infrastructure such as the Lagos Ibadan railway and the Leki deepwater port, improved people's well-being, laid a material foundation for Africa's most populous country to solve many social problems such as poverty, crime and unemployment, and is conducive to national and regional stability." By June 2023, 52 African countries and the African Union Commission had signed a cooperation document with China on jointly building the the Belt and Road, and Africa has become one of the most important continents participating in the the Belt and Road initiative. Onunaiju said that the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" conforms to the objective needs of African countries and helps solve practical problems, so it is widely welcomed and responded to. As an important pilot project for the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", the China Pakistan Economic Corridor has helped Pakistan solve many development problems since its launch 10 years ago. "More than 200000 jobs have been created, and more than 100 Pakistani SMEs have benefited directly or indirectly, providing vocational and technical training opportunities for tens of thousands of young Pakistani employees." Shakir Lamay, CEO of Pakistan's Asian Ecological Civilization Research and Development Institute, said that not only Pakistan has benefited from this, but also the "the Belt and Road" initiative, which is committed to promoting the spirit of cooperation, is helping the world, especially developing countries, to solve poverty, food security and other difficulties. Over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has helped Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries to transform from "land locked countries" to "land linked countries" and gain great development opportunities. Kurbanov, a Uzbek political analyst, believes that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" adheres to the principle of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing, "which is very attractive for developing countries to carry out cooperation, and therefore is supported by the joint construction of the country". Against the background of current severe challenges to global governance, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative provides a model for promoting global cooperation and plays a positive role in improving the global governance system. "The the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed by China, but the huge benefits arising from it are shared by the world." Banbang Suryorno, chairman of the Asian Innovation Research Center, an Indonesian think tank, said that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" would practice real multilateralism, bring tangible benefits to the world, especially developing countries, promote the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction, and gain international support and recognition. Civilization exchange and mutual learning are important driving forces for promoting the progress of human civilization and world peace and development. Francisco Tayana, a professor at the National Kilmes University of Argentina and an expert on China, said that in today's world with fierce geopolitical competition and local conflicts, the importance of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" initiative to promote people to people and cultural exchanges has been further highlighted. "Dialogue among civilizations and exchanges among people can promote a higher level of understanding among different civilizations and help build a world that truly benefits the people of all countries." The white paper, which jointly paves a broader road to development and prosperity, said that 10 years of practice has fully proved that co building the "the Belt and Road", which follows the trend, wins the hearts of the people, benefits the people, and benefits the world, is a road for all countries to common modernization, and a road of hope for mankind to a better future. It has strong resilience, strong vitality, and broad prospects for development. From the practical cooperation between China and Russia and other countries in Asia and Europe over the past 10 years, Oleg Barabanov, project director of the Russian Valdai International Debate Club, found that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative promotes closer economic and trade ties and people to people and cultural exchanges, helps to connect the vast Eurasian continent more effectively, which is of great value to the development of the whole region. The Director of the Eurasian Center of Hungary's John von Neumann University, Horwat Levint, was the former Hungarian Consul General in Shanghai. He published a monograph on the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" initiative in 2022. He said that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", which focuses on all mankind, is a road of peace and prosperity. "As the cooperation in jointly building the" the Belt and Road "continues to deepen, we hope that China's advanced technologies such as high-speed rail can be promoted to more countries and benefit the people of the world.". President of the Arab Parliament Ou Shumi said that China has carried out large-scale project cooperation with many Arab countries under the cooperation framework of jointly building the "the Belt and Road". The "the Belt and Road" initiative has established a mutually beneficial and win-win partnership among the co construction countries, which helps to solve the problems faced by all countries. Ou Shumi pointed out that China's global development initiative, global security initiative, and global civilization initiative in recent years have been welcomed by the vast majority of countries, and the positive impact of these initiatives has benefited the international community. From the Fangjiuni Bridge, which revitalizes the economy of a province, to the Museum of Black Civilization, which promotes cultural development, and to the Diamniyahu Children's Hospital, which protects children's health, Amadou Diop, a Senegalese expert on China, came to the conclusion that the major practice of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has promoted the economic and social development of African countries, including Senegal. He believed that the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" contains great potential and will promote countries around the world to strengthen cooperation and common development, so that the countries jointly built can achieve real mutual benefit and win-win results and jointly move towards a more prosperous and stable future. Over the past 10 years, the "the Belt and Road" initiative has set out from a new historical starting point. More countries are looking forward to opening a window of development opportunities by participating in this initiative. Brazil is one of them. Evandro Carvalho, director of the Brazilian Chinese Research Center of the Vargas Foundation in Brazil, said that the Brazilian government, parliament and local authorities are actively exploring the connection point between the "the Belt and Road" initiative and the Brazilian "reindustrialization" process, and are starting to carry out practice in many fields, such as finance, digital economy, personnel exchanges, cultural exchanges, with a view to promoting the deepening of exchanges between the two major developing countries in Brazil and China, and making new contributions to the common efforts of developing countries around the world to enhance their well-being.
