Foreign experts talk about the "the Belt and Road" | Pakistani experts: China's initiative brings multiple opportunities to the world Initiative | One Belt | Pakistan
International online report: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road". Over the past decade, the construction of the "the Belt and Road" has achieved a good start and achieved fruitful results. China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road have jointly played the music of development and prosperity. Mariam Raza, former deputy director of the Pakistan Research Center of the Community of Human Destiny, pointed out in an online interview that the "the Belt and Road" initiative has brought multiple opportunities to the world. The flagship projects of the "the Belt and Road", such as the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, are deeply supported and welcomed by the Pakistani people, and China has played an important role in promoting the common progress of developing countries.
The "the Belt and Road" has brought multiple opportunities to the world. In addition to boosting economic and social development, the initiative has also improved regional connectivity and promoted energy production, technological transformation, poverty reduction and cultural exchanges. China is a successful advocate in building an international cooperation platform to help countries achieve coordinated economic development. In this process, China's international influence continues to increase and plays an important role in promoting growth and progress in developing countries and regions.
Lazar said that the China Pakistan Economic Corridor is the flagship project for Pakistan and China to jointly build the "the Belt and Road". China has invested billions of dollars in projects related to the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, making significant contributions to Pakistan's modernization of infrastructure. The "five links" of the "the Belt and Road" initiative have fully facilitated the two governments in building special economic zones, science and technology centers, renewable energy plants and strengthening cultural exchanges. It is particularly worth mentioning that Pakistan and China have achieved close exchanges in the field of culture and education under the promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, which has greatly enhanced the friendship between the two peoples.
She mentioned that recently, China mediated the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which highlights China's image as a peace advocate and demonstrates that China's leadership has gained recognition and trust from countries in the Middle East. Lazar believes that China's efforts to promote regional peace and stability not only echo the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind, but also help maintain balance among countries, usher in a new era of cooperation among countries in the Middle East, and accelerate the construction of the the Belt and Road project in surrounding regions.
Laza stated that countries in the southern regions of the world have not gained sufficient voice in the current international order, while China is an advocate for reshaping the world order, advocating for resonance among the vast number of southern countries around the world. The third the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, to be held in China this year, is expected to inject new vitality into the development of the Asia Pacific region and even the world, and forge a new development roadmap for areas of common concern to countries along the the Belt and Road.
Currently, many Asia Pacific countries have achieved positive economic growth, the industrial revolution is poised to take off, and the digital economy is developing rapidly. Under the framework of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, new business models and new industries are emerging, and the key to innovative development, coordinated development, green development and open development is becoming increasingly prominent. Laza predicts that relevant issues may become the focus of discussion during the forum, and "looks forward to China proposing a comprehensive, high-quality, and sustainable development roadmap at the meeting, and continuing to build and share with the support of all parties along the route."
Lazar said that some western countries try to discredit China's image by slandering the "the Belt and Road" initiative. However, in her opinion, these tricks can only end in failure. Lazar gave an example that in Pakistan, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor is very popular. Pakistan has always stood with its Chinese friends to resist the malicious slander from Western media. The "the Belt and Road" initiative and many international cooperation initiated by China have been carried out smoothly at an astonishing speed and have had a positive impact on the global scale. "The United States and the West should get rid of their obsession with conflict and war, learn from China's successful policies and governance models, unite and help each other, and create a better future for all mankind."
