East China University of Political Science and Law in Shanghai unveiled a collection of selected translation of legislative texts of partner countries of Belt and Road Initiative on Dec 3.

Nearly 80 representatives, comprising experts and scholars from prominent legal institutions, took part in the unveiling event.
