🤝 Last Tuesday in Beijing, Zhao Leji, Chair of the National Peoples Congress Standing Committee, representing the Chinese mainland, met with representatives from Pacific island countries to map out new paths for cooperation.
Zhao praised the strong ties between China and these island nations, calling China a "trustworthy friend and reliable partner." He stressed the importance of building political trust and deepening ties across all levels—especially in legislative communication.
One highlight? Both sides agreed to align the Belt and Road Initiative with the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent. 🚢 This fusion aims to boost infrastructure, green development, and connectivity across the vast Pacific.
They also plan to implement the four major global initiatives, focusing on shared development, security cooperation, and cultural exchange. 🤲
On the Pacific side, reps reaffirmed their support for the one-China principle and expressed eagerness to work with China’s NPC to share governance experience and create a legal framework that supports joint projects.
As these partnerships grow, young entrepreneurs, students, and travelers can look forward to new opportunities—from business ventures in blue economies to study exchanges and cultural festivals celebrating island heritage. 🌴📚
Stay tuned to see how this cross-regional friendship unfolds on the world stage! 🌏✨
