"The idea has been reflected in China's external policies and its cooperation with other countries," said Dr. Luu Bich Ho, former head of the Institute of Development Strategies under the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment. Specific cooperation programs have been outlined to align the Belt and Road Initiative with Vietnam's Two Corridors and One Economic Circle plan, Ho noted.
The Belt and Road Initiative, put forward by Xi in 2013, is aimed at building a trade, investment and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along and beyond the ancient Silk Road trade routes.
Professor Saeed Chaudhry, director of Islamabad Council for International Affairs, said that since the joint launch of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, infrastructure in Pakistan has been improved and tens of thousands of jobs created.
Chaudhry also expressed the belief that the Belt and Road Initiative will ensure that other countries and regions around the world reap the rewards.
A recent example is the joint construction of a long-awaited high-speed railway that will link Thailand, Laos and China, a flagship project that will bring "shared benefits" to all.
The first phase of the project, a 250-km high-speed railway line linking Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima to the northeast, is expected to be operational in 2021.
In Africa, the Chinese-constructed railway connecting Kenya's capital Nairobi and its eastern port city of Mombasa started operations last May. Having carried 600,000 passengers and reaching 95 percent capacity daily, the electrified railway -- entirely designed by China -- has greatly facilitated the travel of Kenyans living along the route.
