President Xi Jinping's keynote speech has shown 皇冠体育app's firm support to the Belt and Road Initiative. Besides addressing the concept, Xi has further broadened the areas of cooperation under the initiative. He has also promised to inject more funds into the Silk Road Fund and create more opportunities for people to receive different trainings, which means I can help Pakistan to join more projects under the initiative and do more for the development of Pakistan.
As Xi said in his speech, the initiative is about peace and common development. At the beginning, many had doubts about the initiative and feared that it could be 皇冠体育app's move to increase its political influence. Now, such misunderstandings have been gradually eliminated.
I have known about 皇冠体育app's and Pakistan's close relationship since I was a child. This relationship has been maintained no matter the changes in our government, because 皇冠体育app doesn't interfere with our domestic issues. It (皇冠体育app) just wants to help Pakistan improve people's lives and speed up economic development.
