The Spanish edition of “Xi Jinping on the Belt and Road Initiative” is helping Latin American countries better understand and participate in the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), officials and scholars said at a seminar held for readers to share their ideas in Santiago, Chile, on April 11.
“Within the BRI framework, China and Chile have worked together effectively in the construction of infrastructure such as ports, subways and highways, as well as in the development of a science and technology center,” Yu Tao, Vice President of China International Communications Group (CICG), said at the seminar.
Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the BRI in 2013 to boost connectivity along and beyond the ancient Silk Road routes. Chile is the first Latin American country to voice support for the initiative and sign a memorandum of understanding on Belt and Road cooperation with China.
The Spanish edition of “Xi Jinping on the Belt and Road Initiative” gives Latin American readers an in-depth, nuanced understanding of the initiative, thereby contributing to more productive collaboration, Yu said. CICG is China’s leading international communication institution and owns the book’s publisher, the Beijing-based Foreign Languages Press (FLP).
