#High-quality Belt and Road cooperation

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Guided by the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, BRI cooperation has now covered the majority of the world's countries. By June 2023, China had signed more than 200 BRI cooperation agreements with over 150 countries and 30 international organizations across five continents, yielding a number of signature projects as well as "small yet beautiful" programs focusing on improving people's livelihoods.
