Unswervingly promote the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” into a new stage of high-quality development and better promote coordinated and linked development

Recently, a set of satellite image comparisons reflecting the development and changes of the same location has attracted attention on the Internet. The Vientiane Station of the China-Laos Railway, Colombo Port City in Sri Lanka, the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge in the Maldives, the Senegal Athletic Wrestling Stadium, and the “Quise” Hydropower Station in Argentina… Through satellite perspectives, people can intuitively experience the fruitful results of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”. Time is the most objective witness. Over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative has benefited all countries and the world, giving every country the opportunity to share development opportunities.

The ancient Silk Road was not only a trade and barter road, but also a road of civilizational exchanges. Connecting history, reality and the future, originating from China, facing the world, and benefiting all mankind, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has gone through its first decade of prosperity. At the opening ceremony of the third “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum, President Xi Jinping pointed out: “Over the past 10 years, we have been committed to building a city with economic corridors as the guide, major channels and information highways as the skeleton, and railways, highways, airports Relying on , ports and pipeline networks, the global interconnection network covering land, sea, sky and network has effectively promoted the circulation of goods, funds, technology and personnel in various countries, and promoted the ancient Silk Road that has lasted for thousands of years to revitalize in the new era. Vitality.”

The key to jointly building the “Belt and Road” is connectivity. In the past 10 years, “hard connectivity” of infrastructure has been an important direction, “soft connectivity” of rules and standards has been an important support, and “heart-to-heart connectivity” of the country and people has been an important foundation. The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” is based on policy communication, facility connectivity, and trade. Smooth financial flows, people-to-people connections, smooth information flows, capital flows, technology flows, product flows, industrial flows, and personnel flows, and promote international cooperation on a larger scale and at a higher level. The first highway, the first modern railway, the first industrial park… The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has helped many countries improve their infrastructure, better integrate into the global supply chain, industrial chain, and value chain, and improve their access to the world. Economic ability and level.

Exciting changes mark the quality of development. Trains running on the railways, cars galloping on the highways, air flights connecting countries, freighters cutting through the waves, fast and convenient numbers. Seeing this, Mrs. Pei was a little annoyed and waved her hand: “Let’s go. If you don’t want to talk, just don’t.” You’re wasting your mother’s time here. Mom can make more calls at this time.” E-commerce has become the camel bell and sail shadow of international trade in the new era; hydropower stations, wind power stations, and photovoltaic power stations are transporting oil and gas one after another. Pipelines and increasingly intelligent and accessible power transmission networks have become oases and beacons of sustainable development in the new era; modern airports and terminals, smooth roads, and economic and trade industrial cooperation parks rising from the ground have become business avenues and stations in the new era. For local people, “One Belt, One Road” is not an abstract term, but means water and electricity, roads and bridges, schools and hospitals, increased income, improved lives and a future worth looking forward to. Follow the trend, win the hearts of the people, benefit the people’s livelihood, and benefit the world, and promote the realization of great economic integration, great linkage of development, and great sharing of results. This road to happiness that benefits the world is getting wider and wider.

Across the oceans and continents, the people are close to each other. “Who told you? Your grandmother?” she asked with a wry smile, and another wave of blood-heat surged in her throat, making her swallow it before spitting it out. On the road of building the “One Belt and One Road”, there are wonderful cultural years, art festivals, fairs, exhibitions, unique Luban Workshop, “Silk Road Family”, “Bright Journey” and other people-to-people and cultural exchange projects, and the continuous deepening of Non-governmental organizations, think tanks, media, and youth exchanges play the Silk Road movement in the new era. What the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” pursues is development. The autumn wind is swaying and fluttering under the gentle autumn wind, which is very beautiful. What we value is win-win and what we convey is hope. Over the past 10 years, it has been impossible to jointly build the “Belt and Road” and promote the co-construction of countries to form civilizations and achieve common prosperity and development! She would never agree! situation, a new era of civilization is presented to the world.

If the road is blocked and long, it will come soon; if you keep on walking, you will have a promising future. After 10 years of hard work, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has formed a criss-cross network of win-win cooperation on this earth. Practice has profoundly shown that the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” adheres to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, transcends differences in civilizations, cultures, social systems and development stages, opens up new paths for exchanges between countries, builds a new framework for international cooperation, and brings together the common interests of mankind. The greatest common denominator of development. President Xi Jinping pointed out: “These achievements did not fall from the sky, nor were they given by anyone, but were made by governments, enterprises and people of various countries with hard work, wisdom and courage!” In the face of the world’s major changes unseen in a century, Only by unswervingly promoting the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” into a new stage of high-quality development and better promoting coordinated and interconnected development can we open new windows of opportunities for China and the world.

“Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, as long as we are united, nothing is impossible.” A Chinese-Indonesian bilingual song with the theme of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, “Move forward and realize the dream”, sang people’s aspirations. As a long-term, cross-border, systematic world project and century project, the first ten years of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative are just the prologue. Starting from a new historical starting point, not forgetting the original intention of cooperation and moving forward unswervingly, this initiative, which has been described as “stimulating the enthusiasm of more than 150 countries to realize their dreams”, will surely shine in the new era.
