Global Leaders Rally for Development at Beijing Forum

Over 4,000 world leaders, experts, and delegates are converging in Beijing this week for the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation—a mega-event spotlighting global development and economic collaboration. Co-produced by media giants CGTN and Russia’s TV BRICS, the forum’s lively discussions bridge Beijing and Moscow, blending perspectives from policymakers, academics, and industry leaders.

Ten years after its launch, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) remains a cornerstone of international partnerships, fueling infrastructure projects, trade networks, and cultural exchanges worldwide. Experts highlighted milestones like the China-Laos Railway and Kenya’s Mombasa-Nairobi Railway as game-changers for regional connectivity.

But wait—it’s not just about roads and ports! Panelists also explored green energy investments and digital innovation, urging young entrepreneurs to tap into BRI’s evolving opportunities.

As one professor put it: “This isn’t just China’s vision—it’s a shared blueprint for prosperity.” With debates on AI, sustainability, and inclusive growth, the forum is shaping up to be a launchpad for tomorrow’s global economy.
