One Belt One Road (Belt and Road Initiative)

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched by China in 2013, is a global development strategy aimed at enhancing trade and economic connectivity between Asia, Europe, and Africa. It involves building infrastructure like roads, railways, ports, and energy projects to improve trade routes, reminiscent of the ancient Silk Road. The initiative seeks to boost economic growth, foster international collaboration, and expand China's influence. While it offers investment opportunities for participating countries, it has also raised concerns about debt dependency and environmental impacts. Overall, the BRI is a significant effort to reshape global trade dynamics.
