The Belt and Road Initiative will provide a bigger platform for Chongqing to "go out", Xi said during an inspection of Southwest China's Chongqing municipality in Jan, 2016.

He hoped Chongqing would play a major role in the Go West campaign, which actively engages in the development of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Zone and creates new achievements in the process of building a well-off society.
