What are the reasons for proposing the Belt and Road Initiative?

The reason for proposing the Belt and Road Initiative is that the economic integration covering Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia will eventually merge with Europe, forming a general trend of economic integration in Eurasia.

Relying on the existing bilateral and multilateral mechanisms and effective platforms for regional cooperation between China and relevant countries, the Belt and Road Initiative aims to borrow the historical symbols of the ancient Silk Road, hold high the banner of peaceful development, actively develop economic cooperation partnerships with countries along the route, and share the same interests, destiny and responsibilities in establishing political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural tolerance.

After the opening of the "Belt and Road" special economic zone, more than 3,000 projects were signed. In 20 15, China enterprises made direct investment in 49 countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative, with a year-on-year increase of 18.2%. In 20 15, China undertook the service outsourcing contracts of countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative with an amount of 654.38+0.783 billion USD and an execution amount of 6543.8+0.265438+50 million USD.
