An important practical platform for building a community of human destiny

　　As an important practical platform for building a community of human destiny, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative is the embodiment of China’s active participation in global governance and its responsibility as a big country. It is expected that China will join hands with more countries to deepen the cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" and push global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and tolerance.

　　The "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader with a view to the common development of mankind, which was widely welcomed and positively responded by the international community. This initiative has attracted more than three-quarters of countries and more than 30 international organizations in the world to participate in it, stimulating the investment scale of nearly one trillion US dollars, forming more than 3,000 cooperation projects, creating 420,000 jobs for building a country together and helping nearly 40 million people get rid of poverty. As an important practical platform for building a community of human destiny, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative is the embodiment of China’s active participation in global governance and its responsibility as a big country.

　　Building the "Belt and Road" embodies China’s development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. Based on the principle of discussing, building and sharing, it respects the sovereignty of all countries, does not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, adheres to open cooperation and mutual benefit, and promotes all-round cooperation among countries and regions along the route through complementary advantages to help countries enhance their development capabilities.

　　Faced with the challenges of insufficient recovery momentum and rising protectionism after the global economic epidemic, China insists on opening wider to the outside world, firmly supports free trade, and is committed to promoting economic globalization, promoting the construction of an open world economy, and promoting South-South cooperation and coordinated development among regions, which can be reflected in building the "Belt and Road" and taking infrastructure as the cornerstone of interconnection as a priority area. In the past 10 years, China has built the "Belt and Road" with high quality with countries and regions along the route, which has achieved fruitful results and accumulated valuable experience for more lasting cooperation in the future.

　　China-Europe train is an international trade artery that runs through Eurasia. It closely connects Europe and Asia, showing strong resilience and vitality, and is one of the most iconic achievements of the "Belt and Road" cooperation between Europe and China. On March 9th this year, on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and China, the "Yixin Europe" China-Europe train named after the "Commemoration of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the West" set off from Madrid, the capital of Spain, and ran opposite to the train leaving from Yiwu, China, to celebrate the friendship between the two countries for half a century. Since the opening of the "Yixin Europe" train, it has provided great convenience for the trade of goods between Western China and even Europe and China. At present, the "Yixin Europe" China-Europe train has spread to more than 160 cities in more than 50 countries in Eurasia, effectively promoting economic and trade cooperation among countries.

　　In addition to cooperation in traditional fields, in recent years, China has also combined its own development experience with the development needs of countries and regions along the Belt and Road to promote international cooperation in emerging fields such as the digital economy. Take the construction of the "Digital Silk Road" as an example. As an important part of the "Belt and Road", it covers many new development fields, from network infrastructure to nanotechnology, big data, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and smart cities. It is becoming a digital bridge to promote new globalization, and many countries have shown strong interest in it. At present, the digital economy is one of the main engines to promote China’s economic growth, and it is also one of the key areas to promote international cooperation. Strengthening international cooperation in the digital economy, especially between China and other emerging markets and developing countries, will help to narrow the global digital divide, promote the balanced development of all countries and promote the global digital governance reform.

　　"Follow the principle of co-construction, co-construction and sharing, and promote ‘ Belt and Road ’ The writing of "Construction" in Constitution of the Communist Party of China fully reflects China’s determination and confidence in promoting the Belt and Road international cooperation. It is expected that China will join hands with more countries to deepen the cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" and push global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and tolerance.
