BRI (Belt and Road Initiative)

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global development strategy launched by China to improve infrastructure and connectivity across Asia, Europe, Africa, and beyond. It involves building roads, railways, ports, and energy projects to facilitate trade, investment, and economic growth among participating countries. By enhancing transportation and communication links, BRI aims to promote economic integration, reduce travel and shipping costs, and foster international cooperation. While it offers opportunities for development, it also raises questions about debt, environmental impact, and geopolitical influence. Overall, BRI seeks to create a modern " Silk Road" for the 21st century.
