The third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, held from October 17–18, marked a milestone moment 🌟 as over 140 countries and 30+ international organizations celebrated the Belt and Road Initiative’s (BRI) 10th anniversary. Dubbed the ‘grandest event’ in BRI history, the forum highlighted a decade of transformative cross-continental collaboration and its alignment with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2013, the BRI has evolved into a blueprint for shared prosperity, focusing on infrastructure, trade, and cultural ties. From building railways in Africa 💪 to boosting green energy projects in Asia, the initiative adapts to local needs while tackling global challenges like poverty and climate change. 💡 Over 30 nations have integrated BRI projects into their development strategies, proving that cooperation can bridge gaps—and build futures.
As world leaders gathered in Beijing, the message was clear: the BRI isn’t just about roads and ports—it’s about creating a fairer, greener world. 🌍✨ With its eyes set on 2030, this initiative is redefining what ‘global teamwork’ looks like.
