Since economic recovery is taking place all around the world, one of
the main methods of boosting the economy is to enhance regional
cooperation. Under this circumstance, “the Silk Road Economic Belt" and
"21st-Century Maritime Silk Road", namely the Belt and Road Initiative
(B&R Initiative), were proposed so as to promote regional economic
cooperation of countries along the belt, benefit the exchange among
various cultures and the peaceful development of the world. On the basis
of a growing trend toward world multi-polarization, economic
globalization, cultural diversity and information society, the initiative will
provide a more liberal and multi-dimensional structure of regional
cooperation as well as new ideas on international cooperation in the 21st
century
