Belt and Road Initiative

“一带一路”倡议

The Belt and Road Initiative -- China’s proposal to build a Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in cooperation with related countries -- was unveiled by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visits to Central and Southeast Asia in September and October 2013.

2013年9月和10月，中国国家主席习近平出访中亚和东南亚期间，首次提出“一带一路”重大倡议，即与沿线国家共建“丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”。

The initiative focuses on promoting policy coordination, connectivity of infrastructure and facilities, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and closer people-to-people ties through extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, with the goal of bringing benefits to all.

“一带一路”重大倡议以互利共赢为目标，通过广泛磋商、共同奉献、共享利益等方式实现各国之间的政策沟通、道路联通、贸易畅通、货币流通。

By the end of 2016 over 100 countries and international and regional organizations had expressed an interest in participating, and more than 40 of them had signed cooperation agreements with China.

到2016年底为止，已经有100多个国家和国际组织共同参与，有40多个国家和国际组织与中国签署了合作协议。

 

 Silk Road Economic Belt

“丝绸之路经济带”

The proposed economic belt is considered the longest economic corridor in the world -- and potentially the most dynamic -- connecting the Asia-Pacific region in the east with developed European economies in the west.

“丝绸之路经济带”东端连着亚太地区，西边通往欧洲各经济体，是世界上最长、最具活力的经济走廊。

 

21st Century Maritime Silk Road

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”

Starting with the launch of individual projects that are expected to help spur a wider and a strategic partnership for the South China Sea and the Pacific and Indian oceans.

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”以点带线，以线带面，旨在增进同沿边国家和地区的交往与合作，连通东盟、南亚、西亚、北非、欧洲等各大经济板块的市场链，发展面向南海、太平洋和印度洋的战略合作经济带。

 

Spirit of the Silk Road

丝路精神

Throughout the millennia, interaction along this route has shaped the Silk Road spirit, which is embodied in solidarity and mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit, inclusiveness, a disposition to learn from each other, and cooperation in finding win-win solutions.

两千年的长期交往过程中，丝绸之路沿线各国之间形成了“团结互信、平等互利、包容互鉴、互相学习、合作共赢”的丝路精神。
