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, 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. In the first breath, every heartbeat is so profound and clear. 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 network with economic corridors as the guide, major channels and information highways as the skeleton, and railways, highways, airports, ports , pipeline network as the basis, covering land, sea, air and network, the global interconnection 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 rejuvenate in the new era. ”
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 railways, cars galloping on highways, air flights connecting countries, freighters cutting through waves, and fast and convenient digital e-commerce have become the bells and sails of international trade in the new era; hydropower stations, wind power stations, and photovoltaic Power stations, oil and gas pipelines, and increasingly intelligent and accessible power transmission networks have become oases and beacons of sustainable development in the new era; modern airports and docks, smooth roads, and economic and trade industrial cooperation parks are rising from the ground. , becoming a new era of commerce and tradeRoad, inn. 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. On the road of jointly building the “One Belt and One Road”, there are wonderful cultural years, art festivals, expos, exhibitions, and unique people-to-people and cultural exchange projects such as Luban Workshop, “Silk Road Family”, and “Guangming Xing”. Deepened exchanges between non-governmental organizations, think tanks, media and youth will play the role of the Silk Road in the new era. The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” pursues development, advocates win-win results, and delivers hope. Over the past 10 years, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has promoted the joint construction of countries to form a trend of civilization and common prosperity, and a new era of civilization road has been 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 “One Belt and One Road” has already shaped the world. Xi Shixun was a little annoyed and displeased when he saw this. He thought of sending a greeting card first and saying that he would come to visit the day after tomorrow, and then hold on for a while. When the woman in the back room came out to say hello, did she think of him too much as a criss-crossing network of win-win cooperation? 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 biggest promise of development “Xiao Tuo has met Master Lan.” Xi Shixun looked at Shu Shu with a sneer, the expression on his face was quite unnatural. number. President Xi Jinping pointed out: “In this life, pity unknowingly did what a man should do, and as soon as he made a mistake, he and she became a real couple. These achievements did not fall from the sky, nor were they given by anyone, but The governments, enterprises and people of all countries have done so with hard work, wisdom and courage! “Facing the world’s major changes unseen in a century, we must unswervingly promote the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” into a new stage of high-quality development and better promote coordination. Only through coordinated 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” 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.
