一带一路英文演讲稿：OBOR share a common dream of development-AUSTON

OBOR share a common dream of development

More than 2000 years ago, ancient China first developed the commercial silk trade path connecting Asia, Africa and into Europe, in pursuit of better economic prosperity. This route has become the chief pipeline for economic and cultural communication with eurasia. Based on the traditional silk road, the “One belt one road” initiatives proposed by President Xi Jingping, aim to rejuvenate the economy and to strengthen bilateral ties with other countries.

Over the past three years, countries along the OBOR routes including China have achieved many successes in the areas of finance, business trades and infrastructure development. So, I will present three aspects which highlight the significance of'One Belt One Road' for China.

First of all, the OBOR projects are financed by many global organizations such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the New Development Bank, and the Silk Road Fund. This means that increasingly many countries are realizing the importance of joint investment to better develop their economies.

Secondly, several cross-regional cooperation systems between China and other countries have been initiated, for examples, the ASEAN Ten Plus One arrangement, the BRICS forum and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. These have ensured a good economic relation for business practices.

Finally, supported by the OBOR concept, many countries are now able to connect to one another through a multi-layer transportation system. This can be seen from the so-called ‘modern Silk Road’: the New Eurasian Continental Bridge, the Economic Corridor which runs from Myanmar via China to Bangladesh. Not only that, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to the farreaching idea, it’s now a lot easier for people to travel in and out of China. These great benefits, together, have laid a solid foundation for future economic developments.

As a result, OBOR will not only deepen China-ASEAN cooperation and regional integration, but also bring common prosperity for all other nations involved. This concept has resonated with the voices of many others by linking the "Chinese dream" to the "Global Dream". I believe that One Belt One Road will leave a lasting legacy in Chinese history, and will continue to bring glory and prosperity to our great nation.
