BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Turning a blueprint into railways, harbors and busy trade across continents, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) took less than six years to achieve such tangible progress.
More importantly, the world is seeing a growing consensus that the BRI is a new model for multilateralism and an open economy.
President Xi Jinping shared ideas on advancing the initiative at the opening ceremony of the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation Friday. They include extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits; the open, green and clean approaches; and high-standard, livelihood-improving and sustainable development.
