April 11, 2025, Kuala Lumpur – A representative of China Communications Construction Group (CCCC) stated on April 11 in Kuala Lumpur that the company is committed to contributing to the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road Initiative by focusing on building multi-dimensional economic corridors, fostering new industrial growth areas, providing Chinese technological standards, and establishing partnerships that improve people’s livelihoods.
Speaking at the China-ASEAN Media Think Tank Forum, CCCC Vice President Chen Chong emphasized that, in recent years, the company has deepened its efforts to support local development by leveraging large-scale projects. He highlighted the valuable experience gained by CCCC in international infrastructure cooperation and its contribution to enhancing the sustainable development capacities of the countries it collaborates with.
Chen Chong noted that CCCC is currently conducting substantial business in 158 countries and regions. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed, CCCC has invested in and constructed over 3,000 infrastructure projects, including more than 13,000 kilometers of roads, over 200 bridges, and 150 key ports. Among these projects, the East Coast Rail Link in Malaysia, the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Kenya, the Lekki Deep Sea Port in Nigeria, and the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan are some of the most iconic projects in their respective countries and regions.
Chen Chong further emphasized the importance of integrating Chinese technological standards with local needs, citing the successful collaboration between China and Malaysia in building the East Coast Rail Link, where a fusion of both countries’ standards was used for the civil engineering works and Chinese standards were applied for the rail system and vehicles. Such projects, he noted, are helping to explore new pathways for Chinese companies to expand globally. Additionally, CCCC is focused on eco-friendly projects, improving local living standards through infrastructure-plus-livelihood models, and contributing to green, low-carbon solutions.
