Improve foreign trade liberalization and facilitation. One belt, one road, China, is developing the diversified trade and investment cooperation. It is constantly exploring the market of ASEAN and developing countries, and combining their own development with the common development of the countries along the belt and road. This also reflects that China's role in promoting world economic development is becoming more and more important. China's one belt, one road, one belt, one road, one belt, one road, has two figures of high growth in 2021, which fully reflects the great vitality of the "one belt and one way" initiative and the great potential of China's cooperation with the countries and regions along the belt and road, Xiao Benhua said.

Xiao Benhua believes that, one belt, one road, the main growth point of China's foreign direct investment this year is the "one belt and one way" along the line. In addition, with the formal implementation of the RCEP agreement, the investment in the economies participating in the agreement will also become an important growth point. From the perspective of investment mode and content, infrastructure investment and Industrial Park cooperation will be important growth points. When the situation of epidemic prevention and control improves, foreign contracted projects will increase restoratively. (outlook new era)
