On March 3, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 28 held a sub-forum on "The Belt and Road: Sharing Development Opportunities", which attracted attention from all walks of life. Talk about achievement, talk about development, seek opportunities... The guests said that the "Belt and Road" initiative has changed in the past ten years, turning its vision into reality, and looks forward to writing a new chapter with the world.
Ten-year achievement: providing the world with Chinese solutions
"The Chinese government has lifted about 8 million people out of poverty, which is a remarkable achievement." Jim Yong Kim, Partner and Vice Chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners and former President of the World Bank, said that China's continuous improvement in the fields of health care and education shows that the focus on infrastructure development of the "Belt and Road" initiative is sustainable and will also bring enlightenment to world development.
Renat Bekoturvov, president of the Astana International Financial Center, said that with the east wind of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the volume of goods transported in the "middle corridor" reached 150.<> million tons, opening a convenient channel for Kazakhstan to the entire Eurasian market. "The Belt and Road turns more visions into reality."
Ahsan Iqbar, Minister of Planning, Development and Special Projects of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, said that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" pursues development and advocates win-win and sharing. For example, Ahsan Iqbal said that under the framework of the "Belt and Road" initiative, Pakistan-China cooperation in the field of energy has made rapid progress, which has not only alleviated the problem of power shortage in Pakistan, but also brought many new ideas, technologies and investments to the local area.
"Over the years, China has actively shared its successful development concepts, models, paths and programs, providing a broad platform for cooperation among developing countries and helping to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind." Ahsan Iqbal said.
Future prospects: Green and digitalization become key words
Renat Bekoturwolv said that digital trade has promoted trade facilitation. The development and application of digital technology can reduce trade costs and intermediate links, and lower trade barriers. In the face of the development of the digital economy, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has also shown new characteristics of the times. While taking the "hard connection" of infrastructure as an important direction, it is also necessary to obtain broader market opportunities and opportunities to display their products through digital technology.
Bowule, Director of the European Advisory Union-Ambos, said that China launched the Belt and Road Initiative and is committed to promoting the economic development of countries along the route, which has benefited many countries and enterprises, and in the future, it can start by building a database of global projects related to the "Belt and Road" to enhance connectivity, cooperation and exchanges, and promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road".
