Belt and Road is the abbreviation of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 2 1 century Maritime Silk Road. The so-called generation is the Silk Road Economic Belt, and the so-called all the way is the 2 1 century Maritime Silk Road. This is a cooperative initiative put forward by our country. The Belt and Road Initiative is to borrow the historical and cultural symbols of the ancient Silk Road, hold high the theme of the era of peaceful development, actively carry out economic cooperation with neighboring friendly countries, and create a * * * body of political, cultural and economic exchanges.
Let's talk about the specific paths of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 2 1 Century Maritime Silk Road respectively. There are three major trends in the Silk Road economy. The first one is from northwest China to Russia through Central Asia, until the Baltic Sea in Europe; The second is from the northwest of China, via Central Asia to the Persian Gulf Mediterranean; The third is from the northwest of China to the Indian Ocean via Indochina Peninsula. Among them, the trend of the second economic belt is the epitome of the ancient Silk Road in China, which was opened by Zhang Jian when he went to the Western Ocean in the Western Han Dynasty. The function of the ancient Silk Road in China is also to transport the silk produced in ancient China and form a comprehensive trade channel, which is the same as the purpose of our modern construction of the Belt and Road, and conforms to the concept of "harmony is the most precious, and the world is the same".
2 1 Century Maritime Silk Road has two main trends. The first one starts from the coastal port of China, crosses the South China Sea, reaches the Indian Ocean in the Straits of Malacca, and extends to Europe. The second road is from the coastal port of China to the South Pacific, and through the South China Sea to the South Pacific countries. At present, with the development of the times, the Silk Road has become a general name for the communication channels between ancient China and the West. In fact, the Silk Road is only a tribute to ancient China. Since modern times, China has also advocated paying attention to the theme of peace and development and friendly cooperation with neighboring countries. Under the background of profound changes in today's world, the world economy is slowly recovering, and most countries are committed to common development and building the Belt and Road in China. China's series of achievements in recent years have also been supported by many countries, and China's comprehensive national strength is constantly improving. I also hope that China can better implement the Belt and Road Initiative and call on the international community to provide security for the Belt and Road Initiative.
