More opening-up brings stronger B&R ties

The Ministry of Commerce will accelerate the implementation of opening-up measures that President Xi Jinping pledged at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2018 and seek enhanced cooperation with Belt and Road economies and international organizations, a top official said on Thursday.

Vice-Minister of Commerce Qian Keming made the remarks at the Belt & Road Trade and Investment Forum in Beijing, echoing President Xi's promise on Tuesday about advancing the building of a community with a shared future for humankind.

China will ramp up efforts to develop e-commerce in countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, and help related economies integrate into globalization, Qian said.
