This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a groundbreaking model of sustainable international cooperation rooted in openness, inclusiveness, and mutual benefit. As the BRI celebrates a decade of fostering global development, young voices from Generation Z around the world have shared their thoughts on its impact.
One such voice is Takaya Inoue, a Japanese student studying at the language center of Tsinghua University in Beijing. Previously a member of Tsinghua's Student Association of the BRI, Inoue highlights the initiative's broader benefits. 'Through trade and collaboration, the BRI not only aids member countries but also positively influences nations outside the BRI framework,' he explains. 'It's a win-win for everyone, driving progress and prosperity globally.'
For Gen Z, the BRI represents more than just infrastructure projects; it's a symbol of global connectivity and shared growth. As young people like Inoue witness firsthand the positive changes brought about by the BRI, they remain optimistic about its role in shaping a more interconnected and prosperous world.
