2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, and in Luo Siyi's view, "this is a new concept on how to achieve globalization, a more advanced concept." ”

"The Belt and Road Initiative, after the basic idea, had to be implemented into a series of concrete projects, and today we see that this is already a reality, with trillion-dollar investments and more than 3000,<> projects – and this number will continue to grow." Luo Siyi said.

Luo Siyi pointed out that the "Belt and Road" initiative involves more than 150 countries, and there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, which means that three-quarters of the world's countries participate in the construction of the "Belt and Road".

However, with the advancement of the "Belt and Road" construction, individual countries and politicians have also begun to make noise about the so-called "Belt and Road threat theory" or "debt trap". In this regard, Luo Siyi said, "The Belt and Road is not a threat to anyone, this is not an action close to one country or against another country, this is an initiative to support development." ”

Speaking about his expectations for the Belt and Road Initiative, Luo Siyi said: "I hope that the future Belt and Road Initiative will be as successful as it has been in the past decade. I think this is the most important development initiative in the world. It will help not only China, but every country involved. (End)
