China's total trade with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative over the past five years has exceeded 5 trillion U.S. dollars, with an annual average growth rate of 1.1 percent, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

During the period, China's combined direct investment in these countries has grown by 7.2 percent annually on average. Eighty two overseas economic and trade cooperation zones have also been established in these countries, with an accumulated investment of 28.9 billion U.S. dollars.

"With projects such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the China-Belarus industrial park, China has helped countries along the Belt and Road routes improve their infrastructure and production capacities," said Ning Jizhe, deputy head of China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), at the forum.

The two-day forum was jointly hosted by the NDRC, ministries of Commerce and of Foreign Affairs, All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and the provincial governments of Hubei, Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan and Hunan.
