'Partnership' necessary to bring about better world

Jointly building the Belt and Road will definitely bring about a better world, President Xi Jinping said on Friday.

Xi made the remark in his address at a welcoming banquet for foreign guests attending the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation on Friday evening.

Xi told the guests that we should uphold the belief that all people around the world deserve a better future. "Meeting various challenges the world is facing, we should draw wisdom from the history of the Silk Road, gain power from win-win cooperation in the new era and develop global partnership to create a brighter future for common development," he said.
