On December 2, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed comprehensively advancing high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks when addressing the fourth symposium on Belt and Road construction work.
During Monday's symposium, Xi pointed out that the Belt and Road cooperation has entered a new stage of high-quality development.
He urged for adhering to the principle of "planning together, building together, and benefiting together," the philosophy of open, green and clean cooperation, and the goal of pursuing high-standard, people-centered and sustainable cooperation.
It is necessary to deepen "hard connectivity" of infrastructure, "soft connectivity" of rules and standards, and "heart connectivity" between peoples among partner countries, Xi said.
Efforts should be made to create new space for win-win development at a higher level and with greater resilience and sustainability.
He emphasized the need to strengthen the mechanisms for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and improve the cooperation, planning, coordination and management mechanisms.
Xi called for perseverance to turn blueprints into reality and courage to overcome all kinds of risks and challenges in unswervingly advancing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to make greater contributions to the development of a human community with a shared future.
