Build the "the Belt and Road" into a road of prosperity (people's view)
To jointly build the "the Belt and Road" initiative is to firmly grasp the greatest common denominator of development and provide an inclusive development platform
Unleashing the development potential of various countries can help form a "1+1>2" effect, solve the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development, and better achieve economic integration, development linkage, and sharing of achievements
In the past 10 years, from the construction of the China Kazakhstan Khorgos International Border Cooperation Center and the China Kazakhstan Lianyungang Logistics Cooperation Base to the completion of the modernization project of Zanatas 100 MW wind power and Shymkent refinery, China and Kazakhstan have successfully implemented dozens of important cooperation projects, vigorously promoting connectivity, stimulating international trade, promoting energy transformation, paving a road of mutual benefit, win-win and prosperous development, and writing a vivid footnote to promote the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road".
Today, under the framework of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the quality and efficiency of economic and trade cooperation have been improved, the diversified investment and financing system has been continuously improved, and the foundation of popular opinion has been continuously consolidated, opening up new space for world economic growth. From 2013 to 2022, the import and export volume of goods trade between China and countries along the "the Belt and Road" has increased by 8.6% annually, the two-way investment with countries along the "Belt and Road" has exceeded 270 billion US dollars, and the newly signed contracts for projects in countries along the "Belt and Road" have exceeded 1.2 trillion US dollars. The overseas economic and trade cooperation zones built by Chinese enterprises in countries along the "Belt and Road" have created 421000 jobs for the local people.
Development is the ultimate key to solving all problems and the eternal theme of human society. To jointly build the "the Belt and Road" initiative is to firmly grasp the greatest common denominator of development, provide a huge inclusive development platform, commit to narrowing the development gap, fundamentally resolve the root causes of various conflicts and contradictions, and promote common development and prosperity of all countries in the world.
A single thread does not form a thread, and a single tree does not form a forest. Developing together is the true development. The "the Belt and Road" is not a "solo", but a "symphony". At home, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has made many inland areas become new frontiers of opening up, improved the level of opening up of various regions in China, and expanded the field of opening up to the outside world; Looking overseas, overseas cooperative industrial park projects such as China Belarus Industrial Park, Taichung China Luoyong Industrial Park, and Ethiopia Oriental Industrial Park have developed rapidly, playing a positive role in undertaking cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises and driving the economic development of the host country. The initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" originated in China, but the opportunities and achievements belong to the world. Taking the development of our country as an opportunity, allowing more countries to catch the fast train of our country's development, unleashing the development potential of each country, can help form a "1+1>2" effect, solve the problem of uneven and insufficient development, and better achieve economic integration, development linkage, and achievement sharing.
After 10 years of development, we have jointly built the "the Belt and Road", a road of prosperity, laid a deep foundation, forged close ties, and radiated a stronger endogenous power. This is reflected in the complementarity of industries, from revitalizing Zambia's once suspended mines to filling the gap in Belarus where it cannot produce civilian cars domestically. Countries along the route leverage their advantages in resources, culture, and location, while Chinese enterprises leverage their strengths in technology, management, and funding to jointly build the foundation for division of labor, cooperation, and coordinated development in the industrial and supply chains. This is reflected in the integration of funds. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has grown from its initial 57 founding member countries to today's 106 members from six continents, becoming the second largest multilateral development institution in the world with only fewer members than the World Bank. The financial blood is unblocked, injecting fresh water into the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". This is reflected in the interconnection of facilities, improving the "four in one" interconnection layout of land, sea, sky, and network, deepening cooperation in traditional infrastructure projects, and promoting cooperation in new infrastructure projects. Openness, inclusiveness, and interconnectivity are the key to mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
The China Laos Railway crosses mountains and rivers, becoming the "golden channel" of international logistics; The Inner Mongolia Railway connects the east and west, and the train slogan of "connecting the country and moving towards prosperity" has become a reality; The full opening of Algeria's east-west expressway has become a pioneer in local development... These railways and highways, built with the participation of Chinese enterprises, are not only commuting, transportation, and tourism routes, but also poverty reduction, development, and hope. All countries should steadily take the "the Belt and Road" road of prosperity, make the cake of development bigger and bigger, provide solid support for people's happiness, create more opportunities for economic growth, and open up a broader prospect for the common development of mankind.
