Zhou Mingwei, Former President of China International Publishing Group:  The world is facing a rise in uncertainty and instability in global economy and politics. BRI serves as an important stabilizer for those great changes unseen in the past century. The forum will help reach a broader consensus and cultivate more BRI experts.

Luo Kangrui, Chairman of Shui On Group:  BRI would foster the sustained growth of global economy, the upgrade of industrial structures, the emergence of more Chinese transnational enterprises. Universities, research institutions, think tanks and enterprises should collaborate to work out effective strategies for BRI.

Plenary meeting

Donald McKinnon, Chair of the New Zealand China Council and Former Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand:  We need to further strengthen bilateral relations and enhance cooperation in supply chains, customs and innovation to step up mobility in infrastructure, products, services, capital and people, and advance exchanges in biosafety and justice. 

Li Junru, Former Vice President of Party School of the Central Committee of CPC:  The essence of the BRI is to build a community with a shared future for humanity, which we are materializing by connecting trade on land and at sea. The world has all the essentials, including time, material, technology and values to form such a community.
