Abstract

The initiative of the “Belt and Road” proposed by China received high support and active participation from many Asian, European and African countries. The Initiative constitutes a public product provided by China to the world. It shall follow the cooperation principles of “joint consultation, joint building and joint sharing”, and it aims to effectively promote the establishment of a new landscape of mutual benefit and joint development. In pushing forward the implementation of the initiative of the “Belt and Road”, we should give full play to the positive role of the existing bilateral, multilateral and regional cooperation mechanisms, and accelerate the establishment of a multi-tier cooperation platform, so as to achieve good coordination between relevant countries and regions, as well as promote the improvement and development of the mechanism during the conduction of the cooperation.
