Foreign media questioned the slow progress of the "Belt and Road" project, and China made a clear statement.
CCTV News:At the press conference on November 3, the AFP reporter asked that the local "Belt and Road" projects were observed in Laos, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and other countries, and it was found that some projects were progressing slowly. Why do these projects encounter problems? How does China prepare to deal with these problems? What is the overall goal of the "Belt and Road" strategy?

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying replied, I don’t know where the AFP reporter’s views came from. What is the basis?
The main purpose of China’s "One Belt, One Road" initiative is to complement each other’s development strategies and promote win-win development by strengthening international cooperation. Over the past four years, the "Belt and Road" construction has progressed smoothly and achieved fruitful results, which has been widely recognized and supported by the international community. More and more countries have participated in cooperation, and a large number of cooperation projects are progressing steadily. Many projects have begun to bring tangible benefits to the people of the countries concerned. On November 2nd, the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce introduced the latest situation of the "Belt and Road" economic and trade cooperation at a regular press conference, saying that the "Belt and Road" economic and trade cooperation has achieved remarkable results, and a number of major cooperation projects are being accelerated, including the highway construction in China-Laos Railway and Pakistan and the oil and gas pipeline projects in China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Myanmar.
"One Belt, One Road" is an open and inclusive cooperation initiative, adhering to government guidance, enterprise main body and market operation. The "Belt and Road" is a long-term undertaking jointly promoted by all parties, but it is not a uniform group gymnastics. The actual promotion of specific projects depends on the willingness of all parties involved to cooperate and reflects the objective laws of economic cooperation. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made important arrangements for promoting the Belt and Road international cooperation, and promoted the construction of the Belt and Road, which fully reflects China’s determination and confidence in firmly promoting the Belt and Road international cooperation. China will continue to adhere to the principles of mutual consultation, joint construction and sharing, adhere to the Silk Road spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with relevant parties. This will not be shaken or changed.
