The Chinese President Xi Jinping launched both the Silk Road
Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road
initiatives in 2013.
Afterwards, these were renamed as the Belt and Road Initiative
(BRI). Also known as the New Silk Road, the BRI is an
ambitious infrastructure project which stretches from East Asia
through Europe.
The initiative's objective is to build connectivity and
cooperation across six main economic corridors. These are: (1)
New Eurasia Land Bridge;
Bridge; (2) China-Mongolia-Russia
Economic Corridor; (3) China-Central Asia-West Asia
Economic Corridor; (4) China-Indochina Peninsula Economic
Corridor; (5) China-Pakistan Economic Corridor; and (6)
