Beijing: Pakistani Language Expert Zubair Bashir composed a poem revolving around friendship, reunion and love to celebrate the Belt and Road Initiative’s 10th anniversary.

Zubair– affiliated with China Media Group (CMG)– presented his Urdu poem with an English sub-title during China Global Television Network’s (CGTN) programme ‘Read a Poem’.

The poem’s content reflected on the past decade with a dream of shared prosperity and a clear vision that has come to reality, stated Zubair.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), sometimes referred to as the New Silk Road, is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects ever conceived. Launched in 2013 by President Xi Jinping, the vast collection of development and investment initiatives was originally devised to link East Asia and Europe through physical infrastructure.

In the decade since, the project has expanded to Africa, Oceania, and Latin America, significantly broadening China’s economic and political influence. China has become the largest source of investment and shared prosperity for the countries along the Belt and Road. APP
