He delivered a speech with the theme of "* * * creating a new future for Asian development", comprehensively expounded China's Asian cooperation policy, and particularly emphasized the promotion of the "Belt and Road" construction. The Belt and Road Initiative refers to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 265,438+20th Century Maritime Silk Road, which will fully rely on the existing bilateral and multilateral mechanisms between China and relevant countries and the existing effective regional cooperation platform. The Belt and Road Initiative will not overlap or compete with the existing cooperation mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Eurasian Economic Union and China-ASEAN (10+ 1), but will inject new connotation and vitality into these mechanisms.
