Reporter of India Broadcasting Corporation: Relevant reports from Fudan University show that compared with the first half of 2021, China has declined with the "China -Pakistan Economic Corridor". What are the comments in China? In addition, as the media claims, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to mention the relevant security concerns in the meeting with the Pakistan Ambassador to China?

Wang Wenbin: Regarding the relevant meetings you mentioned, China has released a message draft, and everyone can consult. What I want to emphasize is that the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor is an important first -trial project of the “Belt and Road”. It always focuses on development and benefit people's livelihood. It has been widely praised and recognized by all walks of life. Real interests. China will continue to strengthen cooperation with Pakistani, and continue to benefit all the people of Pakistan in cooperation with the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce some progress of the "Belt and Road" construction. In the past nine years, the major initiative of the “Belt and Road” proposed that China and related countries have adhered to the principles of discussion and sharing, deepening mutual benefit and win -win cooperation, and achieved realistic and heavy construction achievements. More than 140 countries have signed the "Belt and Road" documents with China. A large number of pragmatic cooperation projects landed, and the Chinese and Old Railway opened across the board. Croatia Pesusz has successfully coexisted the dragon cross -sea bridge. The construction of the Yawan high -speed rail, Hungarian and Cypriot, Gilbiti Port, and Gwadar Port have made important progress. Make a real contribution. The China -EU trains continue to operate and operate in a single month for 27 consecutive months. In the first half of this year, China and countries along the “Belt and Road” reached 6.3 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.8%year -on -year, accounting for 31.9%. China ’s non -financial direct investment in countries along the route reached 65.03 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%, accounting for 18.5%.

In the next step, China will continue to solidly promote the high -quality development of the “Belt and Road” to continue to take new steps and achieve new results.
