The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched over a decade ago, has evolved into a global platform fostering international cooperation beyond geographic and cultural boundaries. From expansive infrastructure endeavors to smaller, impactful livelihood projects, the BRI has set the stage for integrated development across participating regions.
In the current phase of meticulous construction, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have emerged as pivotal players in driving the high-quality growth of Belt and Road partnerships. SMEs, known for their flexibility, innovation, and adaptability, are essential to boosting trade and investment, facilitating technological collaborations, and enhancing people's livelihoods. As the BRI enters what many consider the next \"golden decade,\" supporting the continued development of SMEs is crucial for sustaining the momentum and realizing the full potential of the initiative.
