Group chairman stresses need for multilateral ways of engagement

Emphasis on quality over quantity of projects and multilateral ways of engagement are two critical talking points for the Belt and Road Initiative, which has entered into a new stage, said Jose Vinals, group chairman of Standard Chartered Plc.

"Instead of thinking of a China-recipient country relationship, think of a relationship between many international parties that are the best at what they do and can provide the best contribution to particular projects," said Vinals during an interview outside the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation last month.
