THE HANDBOOK OF THE BELT AND ROAD-һ��һ·�փ� ���ݺ���

����The countries of the world are at different stages of development and have their own differenthistories and cultures�� but the people of all countries share a common desire for peace and development. It is also the goal and constant commitment of the ruler of every country toraise the country's economic and social development level with a view to bringing peopleout of poverty and improving people's quality oflife. Meanwhile�� people tend to agree thata country should also accommodate the legitimate concems of others when seeking its owndevelopment and the common development of all countries is the only way for a country toachieve its sustainable development. Since Comrade Xi Jinping was elected the president ofChina in 2013�� he has consistently advocated and made profound interpretations of the ideaof building a community of shared future for mankind�� which has quickly gained widespreadrecognition from the international community. The idea itself has also been recorded in aseries of UN resolutions.����A desire for common development does not mean the pursuit of a single path�� nor doesit entails a single model. Instead�� it allows diversified and localised development pathsthat keep abreast with the times. However�� all countries also face common obstacles intheir development�� such as a bottleneck of capital accumulation�� inequality in intemationaleconomic and trade relations�� low infrastructure capacity�� difficulties in cultivating humancapital�� and low mobilization capability and inefficient allocation of human resources.Therefore�� while acknowledging and encouraging diversified models�� all countries aroundthe world�� especially the developing countries�� are also desperate for a strategic frameworkfor development that not only helps to create the necessary conditions for development��breaking the bottlenecks in key areas and learning from success or failure�� but also gives each country an adequate space of choice. The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013 is such an open fiamework.
