The State Council office held a press conference on the participation of central enterprises in the co-construction of “The Belt and Road Initiative”. Liu Qitao, chairman of China Communications Construction Group Co., Ltd, introduced:
“The Belt and Road Initiative” has been proposed for more than three years. I think there are many iconic ones. In the past three years, the contract projects in countries along the “Belt and Road” have exceeded 40 billion US dollars. If the projects that media friends are more concerned about, I just talked about mengnei railway, mengnei railway, which is an integral part of East African railway network, is of great significance to the development of East Africa. Everyone is very concerned about the second project. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, from Xinjiang to Gwadar Port in Pakistan, is very difficult. We have been building for decades. At that time, we were on this project, there are 88 Chinese employees who died due to natural disasters and other reasons. Up to now, there is still an old man in Pakistan who voluntarily and for many years keeps the mausoleum for US martyrs who died, I think media friends may know this story.
People may be more concerned about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. During the construction process, we felt that 15 million Pakistani people benefited from the construction of this corridor, especially Gwadar Port, which was originally a small fishing village, now it is developing towards the integration of the port and garden, and the construction of the starting area of the park is progressing very smoothly. Gwadar port will become the nearest outlet of the Central Asian inland countries in the future, and the development of this region has great influence.
