The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has celebrated a decade of fostering global collaboration and shared vision. Central to this success are private enterprises, whose involvement both within and outside the Chinese mainland has been crucial for the initiative's sustainability and effectiveness.
In a recent livestream, CGTN's Guan Xin engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Sanda Ojiambo, assistant secretary-general and CEO of the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. Their discussion highlighted the indispensable role of businesses in the BRI framework.
Ojiambo emphasized that private sector participation is key to driving innovation, stimulating economic growth, and developing sustainable infrastructure under the BRI. By leveraging their expertise and resources, businesses are not only contributing to the economic dynamism of the regions involved but also ensuring that the projects align with global sustainability goals.
The collaboration between the private sector and the BRI exemplifies how international partnerships can lead to meaningful progress. As the initiative continues to expand, the synergy between businesses and global stakeholders will play a vital role in shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for all participants.
