In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the «Belt and Road Initiative» (BRI), aiming at building a new platform for international cooperation and creating new momentum for shared development. Since then, the BRI has opened a path for high quality development and common prosperity for countries along the route, becoming a real global platform serving more than half of the world’s population.

China has earned the reputation of being the second economy in the world. The country has shown impressive economic growth over the past decades and is expanding its influence by investing trillions of dollars around the world
