[striving for a new journey and making contributions to a new era · great changes] “the the Belt and Road” has yielded great achievements. China’s plan has benefited the world
Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complex situation of the superposition of century changes and century epidemics, in the first four months, China and countries along the “the Belt and Road” have imported and exported a total of 3.97 trillion yuan, an increase of 15.4% year-on-year. The “the Belt and Road” cooperation has shown strong resilience and vitality.
In recent days, at Zhengzhou railway port in Henan Province, goods such as daily necessities and epidemic prevention materials are being assembled and ready to take the China Europe train to Uzbekistan. At present, the number of departure and terminal lines of China Europe train Zhengzhou assembly center has increased to 16.
Today, Henan, which is not along the border or near the sea, has established trade ties with more than 200 countries and regions around the world. Like Henan, many inland provinces have opened up new channels for land trade by opening China Europe trains.
In 2021, the number of trains running from the five China Europe train assembly centers in Xi’an, Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou and Urumqi accounted for 55% of the total number of trains in China. From the end of opening up to the forefront of opening up, the great changes in the opening up and development of inland hinterland originated from the major initiative of the “the Belt and Road” proposed by the general secretary of Xi Jinping .
In the autumn of 2013, general secretary Xi Jinping s first proposed the “the Belt and Road” initiative during his visit. This is a major strategic decision made by general secretary Xi Jinping s focusing on the general trend of the times, coordinating the two overall situations of China and the world, based on the present and planning for the long term.
Since the “the Belt and Road” initiative was put forward, the general secretary of Xi Jinping . At each symposium, the Xi Jinping general secretary made important arrangements according to the changes of the international situation in China. From drawing the cooperation blueprint of policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial accommodation and people to people connectivity, to focusing on key points and working hard to jointly draw a fine and delicate “fine brush painting”, to steadily carry out cooperation in new fields such as health, green, digital and innovation, and cultivate new growth points of cooperation… Key nodes and top-level designs one by one, make the goal of jointly building the “the Belt and Road” more firm and clear.
Adhering to the principle of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing, the “the Belt and Road” has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform in the world. So far, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations.
As a landmark project of the “the Belt and Road”, China Laos railway has sent more than 2.2 million passengers since its opening, greatly facilitating the travel of people along the line. The goods shipped covered more than 10 countries and regions such as Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia and Singapore, laying a “fast track” for economic development and regional common prosperity along the line.
Like the China Laos railway, the connectivity of countries along the “the Belt and Road” is now more efficient, and major landmark projects such as China Thailand railway, Hungary Serbia railway, ya’an-vanuatu high speed railway and China Pakistan Economic Corridor have made positive progress.
The joint construction of the “the Belt and Road” will bring great opportunities and dividends to the world. The cumulative trade volume between China and countries along the line has exceeded US $10 trillion. Chinese enterprises have invested more than US $140 billion in non-financial direct investment in countries along the line, and established more than 16000 enterprises, driving a large number of employment and promoting common development.
From the “hard connectivity” of infrastructure to the “soft connectivity” of rules and standards, and then to the “heart to heart connectivity” with the national people, the high-quality joint construction of the “the Belt and Road” continues to move firmly towards the goal of high standards, sustainability and benefiting people’s livelihood, paving a bright road to a better world.
