B&R Initiative boosts development in partner countries and brings real benefits to people: FM

(ECNS) -- The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a high-quality public good initiated by China, built by the parties involved, and shared by the world, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said at a press conference Tuesday.

The BRI delivers high-standard, sustainable and livelihood-enhancing outcomes and is widely welcomed, he said.

He pointed out that 10 years after its inception, the BRI has evolved from vision into reality, boosting development in partner countries and bringing real benefits to the people.

A decade of efforts have laid down a pathway toward common development and created an array of national landmarks, livelihood projects, and milestones of cooperation, he added.

"The BRI is a practical and open initiative, guided by the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. Its cooperation is conducted through consultation, and its partnerships are built with friendship and good faith," Qin said.
