BRI brings concrete benefits to people worldwide

BEIJING: The Belt and Road initiative of President Xi Jinping has become the most popular and largest-scale platform for cooperation in the World.

This was stated in a book of discourses on the Belt and Road Initiative, compiled by the Communist Party of China Central Committee's institution for Party history and literature research. It contains 42 discourses totaling about 130,000 words written since 2013, when Xi first proposed the initiative.

According to the State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, facts have proved that the BRI has brought concrete benefits to people in countries and regions involved in the initiative, and that it has contributed to promoting global cooperation and common development.

"The initiative will certainly win increasing support from the international community and open up brighter and wider prospects," he added. The second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will be held in China next year.
