In the past ten years, the "the Belt and Road" construction has achieved fruitful results and won widespread praise from the international community.He believed that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" was never a solo of China, but a chorus concert of countries along the line.

Sebastian Perimoni, an expert at the Schiller Institute in France
Perimoni stated that in recent decades, the world's multipolarity has accelerated, and China, as one of the major economies in the world, has achieved remarkable development achievements. "China has built the world's largest high-speed railway network, achieved comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation, and has made massive achievements in scientific and technological innovation... It can be said that China has embarked on its own unique development path and provided the world with a development model that can be used for reference."
Perimoni pointed out that the world is currently in an era of great changes, and mutual respect among countries and the maintenance of regional peace are requirements for the progress of the times. "Humanity should share the future and not stick to the Cold War mentality like the United States. After all, we all live under the same sky," he emphasized. Unlike the United States, China has set a good example by promoting development through cooperation.
"The the Belt and Road initiative proposed by China has made an important contribution to global common development," Perimoni said to reporters, taking China Africa cooperation under the framework of the the Belt and Road initiative as an example, "The achievements of China Africa cooperation spread across the African continent. According to statistics, from 2000 to 2020, China helped African countries build more than 13000 kilometers of railways, nearly 100000 kilometers of roads, about 1000 bridges, nearly 100 ports and more than 80 large power facilities, funded more than 130 medical facilities, 45 sports venues and more than 170 schools, trained more than 160000 professionals in different fields, and created more than 4.5 million jobs for Africa."

In the field of agriculture, Perimoni introduced that China has become the second largest destination country for African agricultural exports and has established agricultural cooperation mechanisms with multiple African countries and regional organizations; Hundreds of African agricultural products and foods can be traded with China, and agricultural trade between China and Africa is steadily growing. "In addition, in the past decade, China has implemented projects such as" 100 agricultural experts in Africa "and" Africa Agriculture Expert Group "to continuously train local African personnel, establish agricultural demonstration centers in African countries, help African farmers reduce poverty, and share agricultural development experience and technology with Africa."
Perimoni stated that China has always played an important role in various international organizations and platforms. The 15th BRICS Leaders Meeting is about to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa. China is a leader in BRICS cooperation, and many countries recognize China's positive influence in promoting world economic development and hope to join the BRICS community.
Perimoni analyzed that, following the "the Belt and Road" initiative, China has successively put forward global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, all of which revolve around a common concept, namely, "promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind".
