In March 2013, a visionary concept was unveiled by Chinese President Xi Jinping, one that envisaged a global community bound together by shared future. This audacious vision materialized in September and October of the same year when President Xi proposed the establishment of a Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, collectively known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This ambitious initiative emerged as a beacon of international cooperation, uniting nations, cultures, and economies in the pursuit of common development and prosperity.
The Third Belt and Road Forum (BRF) for International Cooperation, themed “High-quality Belt and Road Cooperation: Together for Common Development and Prosperity”, opened in Beijing on Oct. 17-18.
The high-profile forum, the most significant diplomatic event hosted by China this year, is not just to celebrate the initiative’s 10-year anniversary but to look beyond what it has gone through so as to take it further toward a sustainable future.
At PekingEnsight, we are deeply committed to unraveling the intricate tapestry of the BRI.
