The five years of "one belt and one road" have taken root and bear fruit.

Five years ago, in Kazakhstan, President Xi Jinping put forward an initiative to build a "Silk Road Economic Belt". Five years later, the China-Kazakhstan Lianyungang Logistics Cooperation Base and the "Holgus-East Gate" Special Economic Zone waterless port were built. The transboundary freight lines between Central Kazakhstan, Asia and Europe were launched. The world's largest inland country has a "sea port" through the Pacific Ocean, and has increasingly become a key transportation hub in the Asia-Europe continent.

Five years ago, in Indonesia, President Xi Jinping launched an initiative to build the Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century. Five years later, the construction of the high speed rail will start to become the first high-speed railway in Indonesia and even Southeast Asia. The world's largest archipelago will be cut into a thoroughfare and become a good port. The "one belt and one road" initiative will speed up the docking with the "global maritime pivot" concept.

From China's initiative to international consensus, in the past five years, the "one belt and one road" initiative has been transformed from concept into action, from vision to reality, with fruitful results and strong impetus for realizing common prosperity.

From China, belong to the world. Over the past five years, the policy of "one belt and one road" has been continuously strengthened. China has signed a cooperation document with more than 100 countries and international organizations to build a "one belt and one road" cooperation. The "one belt and one way" initiative and its core concepts have been included in the important international mechanism outcome documents of the United Nations, the group of twenty, APEC and SCO. "One belt and one road" has entered the international discourse system and has become a world-class keyword.

All roads are open and all industries are prosperous. Over the past five years, the construction of an efficient and smooth international corridor has been accelerated. The construction of China-Laos Railway, China-Thailand Railway and Hungary-Seychelles Railway has been steadily advanced. The second phase of Hanbantota Port Project has been completed, and the construction progress of Colombo Port City Project is more than half. As of June this year, China-Europe Ban train has broken through 9,000 lines, transporting nearly 800,000 standard boxes, and 48 domestic cities, reaching 42 cities in 14 European countries. The transportation network covers the main areas of Eurasia and Europe.

Ten thousand merchants are gathering in the world. Over the past five years, the economic and trade cooperation between the two sides has achieved remarkable results. Last year, the International Cooperation Summit Forum on "one belt and one road" was held last year, and achieved more than 270 achievements. The Chinese government signed an agreement on economic and trade cooperation with 30 governments of Pakistan, Vietnam and Kampuchea.

Only through financial ties can growth be strong. In the past five years, the "one belt and one road" financial service system has been continuously improved. China first took the lead and promoted the establishment of financial institutions such as Asia Investment Bank and silk road fund to consolidate the financing base for the "one belt and one road" construction. By the end of June this year, the Silk Road Fund has signed 21 projects and promised to invest more than US $7 billion 800 million. The efforts of the National Development Bank, the import and export bank and the commercial banks to support the "one belt and one way" construction are constantly increasing.

The friendship between nations lies in the close relationship between the people, and the close relationship between the people lies in the close relationship between the heart and the heart. In the past five years, the "one belt and one way" construction has been deeply involved in the national mind. China has extensively carried out cultural exchanges and cooperation, and has established the "Silk Road" Chinese government scholarship to train a large number of industry leading talents and excellent technical talents. The official website of the "one belt and one way" official website has been formally launched. The website micro-blog and WeChat have been opened simultaneously, and the 6 official languages of the United Nations have been synchronized.

The old road is new. From the camel bell and the thousands of miles to the current train speed, the big wheel chop waves, the "one belt and one road" should be gathered to show strong attraction and charisma, not only because of the spirit of the Silk Road, but also the principle of sharing and sharing, the characteristics of openness and inclusiveness, and the concept of mutual benefit and win-win.

Treat each other equally and respect each other. "One belt and one road" is a road of peace. Once, Zhang Qian took Massey and Zheng He sailing south, bringing camels and goodwill, treasure ships and friendship. Today, the "one belt and one road" shoulders the mission of peace, and is committed to creating a partnership of dialogue without confrontation and partnership without alliance. Instead of taking the old way of geopolitical game, it will create a new pattern of win-win cooperation, and build a harmonious and coexistent family without destroying small groups. Peace has become the brightest background of the "one belt and one road" construction.

Focusing on development, cooperation and win win, "one belt and one road" is a road of prosperity. In the face of the Middle East, China proposes to build a "1+2+3" pattern of cooperation with the other countries. For Latin America, China proposes to work together to build a new framework for "1+3+6" cooperation. For the central and Eastern Europe, the "one belt road" initiative promotes the "16+1" cooperation to a new height. The Huffington post predicted that the "one belt and one way" construction is expected to bring more than 60% of the world's population to unprecedented cohesion and prosperity.

Complementary advantages, sharing and sharing, "one belt and one road" is an open road. In the central Europe, Poland apple growers can be sold to the Chinese market 9800 kilometers away. With the "one belt" express, Chongqing's cross-border electricity providers can do business in Europe and Asia. At present, under the background that protectionism has brought a shadow to the world economic recovery, "one belt and one road" firmly maintains the multilateral trading system and promotes the construction of free trade zones with its unique tolerance.

Technology lead and idea change. "One belt and one road" is a road of innovation. Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computer... The frontier achievements of today's scientific and technological development make the ancient Silk Road glow with new vitality; the new concept of green development and the way of sustainable development inject new connotation into the ancient Silk Road civilization. "Blue Economic Channel", "Air Silk Road", "Digital Silk Road"... Innovation opens up vast space for the "one belt and one road" construction and creates unlimited possibilities.

Cultural exchanges, mutual learning and mutual learning, "one belt and one road" is a road of civilization. Confucius Institutes and Chinese Cultural Centers are attracting people's attention and charm. Expositions, tourist festivals are crowded with people and excitement. Forum summits, exchanges and dialogues are exciting and energetic. The seeds of civilization are scattered around the "one belt and one road". As a result, people inadvertently found that "Confucius" became a new landmark in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Chinese audiences enjoyed Hungarian paintings and sculptures at their doorsteps. British students recited "Memory of Jiao Yulu".

"A vast voyage without end, sailing but trade wind." In the past five years, the "one belt and one road" grand exhibition has been spread. The yearning for a better life, the hope for peace and tranquility, and the desire for prosperity and development are the common dream of the people participating in the "one belt and one road" construction. This mission and responsibility are carried out. "One belt and one road" carries forward the history and opens up the future. It will create a beautiful chapter in the journey of CO constructing the destiny of mankind.

Along the way, the "five links" are fruitful.
