Visiting Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang and Luxembourg’s Deputy Prime Minister Xavier Bettel have agreed that their two countries should work together to enhance cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The two leaders made the remarks when attending the second Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Air Silk Road” Forum for International Cooperation here on Thursday.
Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, recalled that in June 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed supporting the construction of the “Air Silk Road” between the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou and Luxembourg. The chair’s statement of the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in October 2023 announced that the second Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Air Silk Road” International Cooperation Forum would be held.
The forum here is a practical action to implement the consensus reached by leaders of the two countries to deepen the Belt and Road cooperation, holding significant importance, Ding noted.
Ding also said that over the years, both countries have upheld the Silk Road spirit and achieved remarkable results in the construction of the “Air Silk Road,” establishing an aerial bridge of connectivity and making it a landmark project of the Belt and Road cooperation.
