In a keynote speech titled "Building an Online Silk Road and Creating a Bright Future Together" at the Second China-Arab States Expo in Yinchuan, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, on Thursday, Lu said connectivity is the key to the Belt and Road Initiative, and connectivity to the Internet comes first.
