Q: Close to six years since it was put forth by President Xi Jinping, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a widely welcomed international public good with a far-reaching and profound impact on the world. What role has the BRI played in deepening international cooperation, promoting closer ties between countries, and boosting global growth Is there any underlying linkage between the BRI and the vision of building a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.
答：“一带一路”倡议是习近平主席统筹国内国际两个大局提出的重大国际合作倡议，是重要的理论创新、实践创新,具有十分重要而深远的意义。倡议提出后，得到国际社会积极支持和热烈响应。目前已有124个国家和29个国际组织同中方签署了“一带一路”合作文件。特别是最近习近平主席访问意大利期间，中意双方签署了共建“一带一路”谅解备忘录，为这一合作进程提供了新的动力。与此同时，“一带一路”有关合作理念和主张写入了联合国、二十国集团、亚太经合组织、上海合作组织等重要国际机制的成果文件。实践证明，“一带一路”倡议顺应了时代潮流，契合各国合作共赢、共同发展的愿望，是广得人心、得道多助的。回顾过去几年的合作进展，我认为“一带一路”倡议在以下三方面发挥了积极作用：
