At the third symposium on the construction of the "Belt and Road", General Secretary Xi Jinping, standing at the height of coordinating the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world in a hundred years, comprehensively summarized the remarkable achievements of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", scientifically analyzed the new situation facing the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", made major arrangements and put forward clear requirements for continuing to promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", and provided a fundamental basis for promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" in the new era.
In the face of the severe challenges brought by the century-old changes and the superposition of the century epidemic to the development of the world economy and the improvement of people's livelihood, it is necessary to promote the sustained and stable development of the world economy. Jointly building the "Belt and Road" adheres to the principle of joint consultation, co-construction and sharing, condenses the consensus of participating countries to the greatest extent, takes the "hard connection" of infrastructure as an important direction, takes the "soft connection" of rules and standards as an important support, and takes the "heart connection" with the people of the participating countries as an important foundation, and has achieved solid and heavy results. From proposing "policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds" in 2014, to proposing "the road to peace, prosperity, openness, innovation, and civilization" in 2017, and then to the "road of cooperation, health, recovery, and growth" in 2020, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" conforms to the inherent requirements of the reform of the global governance system, and always promotes cooperation in the spirit of the Silk Road of peaceful cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit, It highlights the awareness of a global development community with shared responsibilities and rights and responsibilities in all countries in the world, and contributes new ideas, new ideas and new programs to promote the sustainable development of the world economy.
Practice shows that the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" conforms to the historical trend of economic globalization, conforms to the requirements of the times for the reform of the global governance system, and conforms to the strong desire of the people of all countries to live a better life, and has received enthusiastic responses from more and more countries, and has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform. Jointly building the "Belt and Road" has always adhered to the concept of development priority, which has effectively promoted the solution of the problem of unbalanced and insufficient global development, made up for the global development deficit, and helped developing countries to develop and reduce poverty; it has also promoted the formation of new concepts, new experiences and new models of exchanges and mutual learning among human civilizations, expanded the breadth and depth of comprehensive opening up and cooperation among participating countries, and optimized the governance mechanism of regional and global cooperation. The open and inclusive value concept adhered to in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has been deeply embedded in global development, bringing new hope to developing countries to accelerate development, and contributing new wisdom and fresh experience to the recovery of the world economy, the improvement of global governance and the realization of sustainable development. In the face of various global challenges such as climate change, epidemic crisis, worsening poverty, debt intensification, geopolitical competition, etc., the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" connects the urgent needs and long-term demands of countries, focuses on traditional infrastructure such as transportation, electricity, and communications, expands new infrastructure such as digital and technological infrastructure, repairs the industrial chain supply chain that affects development and stability, strengthens the integration and docking of international investment and financing rules, promotes multi-level and multi-style people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and effectively enriches and expands the fields and contents of cooperation between participating countries. Bring together the strength of the international community to effectively cope with global challenges.
Looking forward to the future, we must thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the third "Belt and Road" construction forum, with the goal of high standards, sustainability and benefiting people's livelihood, continue to deepen political mutual trust, give play to the leading and catalytic role of policy communication, explore the establishment of more cooperation docking mechanisms, promote the transformation of political consensus into concrete actions, and transform conceptual recognition into pragmatic results, so as to gather the consensus on participating national development, formulate a common development agenda, focus on common development areas, and optimize the common development model. Create a model of common development and promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" to continuously achieve new results.
