The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has reached a significant milestone, marking a decade of global collaboration and a shared vision for sustainable development. Private enterprises, both within the Chinese mainland and internationally, have been instrumental in driving BRI investments. Their involvement is crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability, dynamism, and effectiveness of the initiative on the global stage.
In a recent discussion, CGTN interviewed Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO & Executive Director of the UN Global Compact—the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. Ojiambo highlighted the pivotal role businesses play in the BRI, emphasizing their potential to drive innovation, stimulate economic growth, and facilitate the development of sustainable infrastructure.
As the BRI continues to evolve, the collaboration between public and private sectors is expected to deepen, fostering an environment where innovative solutions and sustainable practices thrive. This partnership not only enhances the economic landscape but also promotes a more interconnected and resilient global community.
