Chinese enterprises are increasingly venturing into the global arena, a reflection of China’s commitment to enhancing cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) framework.
The BRI, proposed by China in 2013, has initiated thousands of projects in more than 150 countries over the past years, injecting confidence and vitality into a world burdened with mounting protectionism through high-level openness and cooperation.
Against this backdrop, the 14th China Overseas Investment Fair, held in Beijing from Monday to Tuesday, drew over 2,200 business representatives from nearly 100 countries and regions to explore economic and trade opportunities through various activities organized during the event.
The annual event aims to serve as a platform for promoting two-way investment and fostering deeper cooperation in Belt and Road partner countries, with this year’s fair themed “New Opportunities for Global Development, New Blueprints for Overseas Investment.”
Centrally-administered state-owned enterprises, which are at the forefront of the nation’s overseas expansion efforts, have significantly advanced the development of countries and regions participating in the BRI, particularly in infrastructure construction, transportation connectivity and resource development.
