BRI offers UK opportunities

China's ambassador to the United Kingdom told an audience at the House of Commons on Monday that the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the BRI, is a "chorus" rather than a "one-man show," a platform for win-win cooperation rather than a tool to "put one's own country first."

Speaking at the launch event of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Belt and Road Initiative and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Liu Xiaoming said: "The Belt and Road Initiative is not about one country having it all to itself. It is about making the pie bigger and sharing it among all the BRI partners."

This year marks the fifth anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past five years, more than 8,000 China Railway Express trains traveled between China and 43 cities in 15 European countries.
