An Approach for Building a High-Quality Belt and Road

The Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation has ushered in a new phase featuring the joint promotion of a comprehensive,high-quality Belt and Road construction.Advancing the construction of a high-quality Belt and Road is based not only on the solid achievements of its six years of consolidation and practical cooperation,but also on the guidance of China’s initiatives and proposals,general recognition by the countries along the Belt and Road,as well as the support and recognition from international organizations like the United Nations.However,the uncertainty and instability found in the ever-changing international environment,the suspicion and strategic competition from extraterritorial major countries,and other concrete problems appearing during its construction over the past six years have also posed certain challenges that cannot be ignored.The direction of its high-quality development in this new phase involves China’s proactive selection to face the changing international environment and curtail suspicions from the outside world,as well as to resolve the difficulties and problems it encounters along the way in a timely manner,which will ensure the long-term sustainability of the Belt and Road.Achieving this goal calls for long-term system engineering,wherein China should continue to play a steering role,and the convergence of the interests of the countries along the Belt and Road so as to fuse these nations,each with their own respective resources,closely together by building a regional value chain.In such a closely-knit community,high-quality infrastructure serves as the backbone,while diversified financing institutions and functions serve as the arteries.Meanwhile,institutional building should also be emphasized,which will ensure that the goals for building a high-quality Belt and Road are fulfilled at different levels.
