Editor's Note: This year marks the 10th anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, and the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum will be held in the near future. In the past decade, the "the Belt and Road" initiative has developed from "freehand brushwork" to "meticulous meticulous painting", and has become the most popular international public goods and the largest international cooperation platform, with obvious results. To this end, Xue Li, a researcher of the Institute of World Economy and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, interviewed authoritative experts on the "the Belt and Road" study, and combed the achievements of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" from different perspectives. In order to cooperate with the convening of the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, Guangming Network will publish them separately in the near future to entertain netizens. Interviewee: Yu Hongjun, former vice minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, former Chinese ambassador to Uzbekistan, vice president of the Chinese People's Association for Peace and Disarmament, and distinguished expert of the CPPCC National People's Political Consultative Conference talent pool Interviewer: Xue Li, researcher of the Institute of World Economy and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences: What is the reason for China to propose the "the Belt and Road"? Yu Hongjun: The "the Belt and Road" initiative has been recognized as one of the most valuable public goods that China provides to the international community. The proposal and promotion of this international public product have profound historical inevitability. Historical inevitability means that since the beginning of the new century, the international balance of power has undergone profound changes, and the common challenges faced by human society are increasing. Strengthening global governance and promoting the reform of the global governance system have become the trend of the times. After decades of reform and opening up, China's international influence and status have significantly improved. The times call for responsible major powers to play a leading role in the new round of globalization, and call for major country politicians to propose new global governance plans with extraordinary courage and courage, and seek new ways of mutually beneficial cooperation. Especially after the 2008 financial crisis, the global economic growth momentum was insufficient, the willingness of countries to cooperate decreased, and the anti globalization trend became rampant. The world urgently needed new cooperation models, principles, and concepts. In the past, Western countries dominated international cooperation and were accustomed to imposing their values, development models, and ideologies on relatively vulnerable developing countries, which led to conflicts and barriers between different development models, governance concepts, and civilizations. It is in this new historical context that the "the Belt and Road" international cooperation advocated and promoted by China came into being. This cooperation paradigm conforms to the trend of development and historical change of the times, as well as the common aspirations and expectations of most members of the international community. Therefore, this unprecedented public product has unquestionable and obvious historical inevitability. Xue Li: How to evaluate the ten years of international cooperation along the the Belt and Road? Yu Hongjun: In the past ten years, the international cooperation of the "the Belt and Road" has been advancing continuously and comprehensively, moving towards the direction of high-quality, high standard and sustainable benefits for people's livelihood. The results can be said to be very significant. The international community has fully affirmed the "the Belt and Road" in general. A large number
