Whereas the West largely ignores suffering caused by increased global economic inequality, China’s Belt and Road Initiative provides a proactive solution.
The Yiwu-Madrid freight rail service, a key part of the Belt and Road Initiative, is an opportunity for European companies to enter the vast Chinese market.
The BRI not only points out the way for mankind to overcome the challenges of the 21st century, but also exhibits the direction to move towards a peaceful future.
The Chinese often say that there are 1,000 reasons for a good Sino-American rapport and not one for a bad relationship. The same should be true on the U.S. side.
The BRI has already become a vital driver of new growth, especially in the Global South. It is increasingly assessed as perhaps the most globally transformative project launched by any country in history.
The Belt and Road Initiative is by no means done and will continue to serve as a crucial platform in driving globalization.
Today, the international community must insist on an immediate ceasefire and on the resumption of various elements of a diplomatic peace process resulting in a just settlement of the Palestine Question.
The BRI will serve as a shield protecting China and its partners in the Middle East from future turmoil in the turbulent international political situation, boost national and regional socioeconomic progress, and safeguard the space created for international peace and cooperation.
There is genuine demand among these developing countries for the roads, railways, ports and power projects China has been building under BRI. It fills a vital developmental gap.
Amid economic recessions, unilateralism, protectionism, and regional disputes, the BRI has stood as a tangible framework, addressing concerns through infrastructure and information initiatives.
Technology and collaboration are transcending borders and bringing cities and civilizations closer.
