As an important practical platform for building a community with a shared future for mankind, high-quality Belt and Road cooperation provides huge opportunities for partner countries to achieve common development and improve people's well-being, said Liu Jieyi, spokesperson for the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) , on Sunday.

Liu made the remarks during a press conference held by the CPPCC National Committee, China's top political advisory body.

Noting that last year marked the 10th anniversary of the proposal of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Liu said ten years of practice have fully demonstrated that building a community with a shared future for mankind conforms to the trend of human development and progress and serves the common interests of peoples of all countries.

Mentioning the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the China-Laos Railway and the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, he said various livelihood projects have helped Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean improve medical infrastructure and promote rural poverty alleviation.

Over the past 10 years, the Chinese government has signed more than 240 documents on Belt and Road cooperation with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations, he noted.

The CPPCC National Committee has communicated with more than 200 institutions in 50 countries and established new ties with 41 foreign think tanks and 12 civil organizations, building consensus to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, he said.

The CPPCC National Committee also conducted in-depth research and put forward opinions and suggestions on green, low-carbon and sustainable development, as well as solidarity and cooperation between China and other developing countries, added Liu.
