Belt and Road Initiative (Paperback)

At the heart of China’s Belt and Road Initiative lies the creation of not only an economic land belt linking countries on the original Silk Road through Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, but also a maritime “road” linking its port facilities with the African coast. In Belt and Road Initiative, contributors from China and Africa consider how China’s vision could support the development milestones laid out in Africa’s Agenda 2063.
