What do you know about the One Belt and One Road Initiative?
In a speech at Kazakhstan’s Nazarbayev University on September 7, 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed building a Silk Road Economic Belt to expand Eurasian(欧亚的) economic cooperation.
The proposed economic belt is considered the longest economic corridor in the world – and potentially the most dynamic – connecting the Asia-Pacific region in the east with developed European economies in the west.
It is named after the original Silk Road established during the Han dynasty.
