“Ensuring the Belt and Road Initiative Benefits All People” contains the main points of a speech delivered at a conference on the Belt and Road Initiative on August 17, 2016. The speech states, “We need to summarize our experiences so far, firm up our confidence, and solidly advance the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). We should focus on connectivity in policy, infrastructure, trade, finance, and people-to-people exchange; on mutually beneficial and cooperative networks, new modes of cooperation, and multilateral cooperation platforms; and on joint efforts to build a green, healthy, knowledgeable and peaceful Silk Road. Like driving a nail in with a hammer, we must persistently push the BRI forward step by step and ensure it benefits all people along its routes.”
