Ten Years On: Special Coverage on Belt and Road in Chongqing “一帶一路” 十年話重慶特別報道

In the autumn of 2013， President Xi Jinping proposed the joint building of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”. Over the past decade， the Belt and Road Initiative （BRI） has become a popular global public good and international cooperation platform. Since 2013， more than 150 countries and 30 international organizations have signed BRI cooperation agreements.

The BRI has bestowed Chongqing， the municipality in the heart of inland China， upon significant development opportunities. In the past ten years， Chongqing has turned from a “fullback” into a “forward” of opening-up. It has embarked on a road of openness， inclusiveness， and shared benefits， consolidating the foundation for friendly cooperation and embracing new development opportunities. It has pioneered a road of prosperity， venturing across mountains and seas and catalyzing high-quality regional socio-economic development. It has forged ahead on a road of cultural exchanges， fostering new prospects of enhanced understanding among different peoples and better interactions and integration of diversified cultures.

On the tenth anniversary of the BRI， The World and Chongqing will present a series report titled Ten Years On： Belt and Road in Chongqing in three editions. We will interview heads from Chongqing municipal departments， esteemed experts and scholars from think tanks and universities， consular officers in Chongqing， heads of Chongqing-based overseas agencies， directors of opening-up platforms and logistics corridors， and business leaders. They， promoting and witnessing Chongqing’s efforts in Belt and Road cooperation， will share insights and experiences highlighting Chongqing’s achievements in the spirit of open cooperation， joint contribution， and shared benefits.

2013年金秋，習近平主席提出共建“絲綢之路經濟帶”和共建“21世紀海上絲綢之路”重大倡議。10年來，共建“一帶一路”成為深受歡迎的國際公共產品和國際合作平臺，150多個國家、30多個國際組織簽署共建“一帶一路”合作文件。

共建“一帶一路”倡議，賦予深處內陸腹地的重慶重大發展機遇。10年來，重慶加快推進內陸開放高地建設，包容共享邁上開放之路，筑友好合作之基緊抓發展新機遇；跨越山海開拓繁榮之路，推動地區社會經濟高質量發展；互學互鑒攜手文明之路，促進文化交融與民心相通。

值此共建“一帶一路”倡議提出10周年之際，《重慶與世界》策劃推出3期“一帶一路”十年話重慶特別報道，獨家專訪市級有關部門負責人、智庫及高校專家學者、駐渝領事官員、駐渝境外機構負責人、平臺通道建設負責人、企業代表等共建“一帶一路”的參與者、見證人，聽他們講述開放合作、共建共享的“重慶答案”。
