  Ladies, gentlemen, friends!

  The achievements made in the past 10 years are extremely precious,Experience worth summarizing。

  We deeply understand,Humanity is an interdependent community with a shared future。The world is good,China will be good; China is good,The world will be better。Through jointly building the “Belt and Road”,China’s door to the outside world is opening wider and wider,Inland areas change from "defender" to "forward",The opening up and development of coastal areas has reached a new level,The Chinese market is more closely connected with the world market。China is already a major trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions,is a major source of investment for more and more countries。Whether it is China’s foreign investment,Still foreign investment in China,Both demonstrate friendship and cooperation,Reflecting confidence and hope。

  We deeply understand,Only through win-win cooperation can things be accomplished、Do good things、Do big things。As long as all countries have the desire to cooperate、Coordinated Action,The chasm can be transformed into a new path,"Land-locked country" can become "land-linked country",The lowlands of development can turn into highlands of prosperity。Countries with faster economic development,I want to help my partner who is temporarily walking behind。As long as everyone regards each other as friends and partners,Mutual m88 best betting websitem88 best betting websiterespect、Mutual support、Mutual achievements,Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands,Achieving others is also helping yourself。See the development of others as a threat,View economic interdependence as a risk,Won’t make your life better、Grow faster。

  We deeply understand,Peaceful cooperation、Open and inclusive、Mutual learning、The Silk Road Spirit of Mutual Benefit and Win-win,Is the most important source of strength for jointly building the “Belt and Road”。I once said it,The reason why the ancient Silk Road is famous in history,It’s not about horses and spears,But camel caravans and goodwill; not strong ships and sharp cannons,But treasure ship and friendship。The emphasis in building the “Belt and Road” is that when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise、Help each other go far,What I value is living a good life、Let others live well,What we practice is interconnection、Mutual benefit,What we seek is common development、Win-win cooperation。Do not engage in ideological confrontation,Do not engage in geopolitical games,We will not engage in group political confrontation,Oppose unilateral sanctions,Oppose economic coercion,Also opposed to "decoupling and breaking links"。

  Proof of 10 years of experience,Joining the Belt and Road Initiative is on the right side of history,In line with the logic of the progress of the times,Walking the right path in the world。We must have the determination to calmly fly through the chaotic clouds,Based on history、To the people、A responsible attitude towards the world,Work together to address various global risks and challenges,Creating peace for future generations、Development、Cooperation、A win-win future。
