　　The Belt and Road Initiative （BRI） has sketched out a “freehand brushwork” and now it is time to work out a “meticulous painting” and steer BRI cooperation towards quality-driven development. We will continue to make new headway in BRI international cooperation in accordance with the vision and goals set out by President Xi Jinping in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation （BRF）.
　　We will strengthen infrastructure connectivity. We will pull together with all parties to build highquality， sustainable， resilient， affordable， inclusive and accessible infrastructure， pursue sustainable development in economic， social， financial and environmental dimensions， and forge more cooperation projects that can withstand the test of history and the comments of people.
　　We will seek win-win results through openness. As the world economy is facing severe challenges， it is essential for us to seek greater openness and cooperation and say no to protectionism to accelerate trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. We will also facilitate the flow of goods， capital， technology and people to power global economic growth and create broad space for it.
　　We will highlight innovation-driven development. Keeping up with the trend of the times， we need to deepen innovation exchanges and cooperation to promote the digital， networked and smart development， and jointly explore new technologies and new forms and models of business to foster new growth drivers and blaze new development pathways. We will act as a booster for China’s Belt and Road Science， Technology and Innovation Cooperation Action Plan and the Belt and Road talents exchange program， in the hope of building the digital Silk Road and the Silk Road of innovation. 　　We will promote balanced development. We will stick to a people-oriented concept， put our focus on people’s better livelihood as always， and get to see that the joint pursuit of BRI cooperation will deliver true benefits to the people of all participating countries. In the joint pursuit of the BRI， we will always see that the vision of green development and sustainable development underpins project selection， implementation and management. In this connection， we will work with other parties to build the Belt and Road Sustainable Cities Alliance， the BRI International Green Development Coalition， and implement cooperation plans and initiatives like the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road， so as to create more opportunities for developing countries.
　　We will deepen exchanges and mutual learning. We need to expand cultural cooperation in education， science， culture， and sports， increase exchanges among parliaments， political parties and nongovernmental organizations， and pay more attention to women， young people and people with disabilities. These will lead to the formation of a multi-layer pattern for cultural communication as well as more fantastic stories on the Silk Road.

Financial institutions in China and other countries participating in the initiative as well as international organizations are encouraged to use the tool on a voluntary basis.

In the future， we will， under the principle of co-construction and following the concepts and objectives proposed by President Xi Jinping， have a clear focus and steer the course to take the BRI economic and trade cooperation to a new level.
　　We will step up efforts to open markets and seek more cooperation. Along with revving efforts to improve the opening-up of market access and increase trade and investment facilitation， we will firmly uphold multilateral trading system by resolutely rejecting protectionism. Though opening up， we will also promote the free flow of economic factors， highly efficient allocation of resources and deep integration of markets， so as to power economic growth of all countries and create broad space for it.
　　We will step up efforts to synergize development policies. On the basis of mutual respect and treating each other as equals， we will further strengthen multilateral dialogue and consultation and planning coordination in the economic and trade sphere， and seek common ground while reserving differences and perfect mechanisms， in a bid to enlarge our common interests and fully tap into the strengths of all participants.
　　We will step up efforts to pursue innovation-driven development. We will further our cooperation in e-commerce and digital economy， expand new space for third-party cooperation， and facilitate trade and investment through innovation to push ahead with the digital Silk Road and the Silk Road of innovation.

We will make development more inclusive and balanced， encouraging more small and medium-sized enterprises and developing countries to be better integrated into the global supply， industrial and value chains and benefited from international trade and investment with less development deficit. 　　We will step up efforts to promote sustainable development. Guided by the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road Development and the Beijing Initiative for the Clean Silk Road， we will see that the vision of sustainable development underpins all economic and trade cooperation project selection， implementation and management， thus to achieve our intended goals as planned.

人民银行行长易纲：构建开放、市场导向的投融资体系

　　Yi Gang， Governor of the People’s Bank of China Building an open， market-oriented investment and financing system
　　據统计，中国金融机构为“一带一路”建设提供资金超过4400亿美元。下一步应秉持“共商、共建、共享”理念，坚持“企业为主体、市场化运作、互利共赢”的原则，构建开放、市场导向的投融资体系，推动“一带一路”建设高质量发展。
　　遵从市场规律，坚持市场主导。顺应“一带一路”建设市场化运作的需求，资金支持主要以商业性资金为主，尽量减少提供减让式资金，政府性资金主要起撬动私人部门资金的作用。私人部门投资是主力，政府投资主要发挥杠杆作用，撬动并引导私人部门投资。
　　要加强债务和风险管理，实现可持续发展。应客观全面地认识发展中国家债务问题，如果债务增加伴随着基础设施的完善、民生的改善、劳动生产率的提高、贫困率的降低等有利于经济持续健康发展指标的改进，是有利于长期债务可持续的。投融资决策既要充分考虑市场主体的资本金约束，合理设计融资结构，有效管控风险；也要充分考虑一国总体的债务承受能力，加强投融资的统筹协调，确保债务可持续。
　　Statistics show that Chinese financial institutions have input more than USD 440 billion to promote the Belt and Road Initiative. Looking into the future， we need， guided by the principle of extensive consultation， joint contribution and shared benefits to pursue business-led and market-driven development for mutual benefit and win-win results and build an open， market-oriented investment and financing system， in a bid to promote the high-quality development of the initiative.
　　Efforts shall be made to follow market rules and the principle of market-oriented development shall be upheld. In accord with the demand of market operation in building the Belt and Road， commercial funds will be the main source of financial support with minimized provision of concessional funds. Government funds mainly works as a leverage for the private-sector funds. The investment of the private sectors is going to domain the filed， encouraged and guided by the Government investment.
　　Debt and risk management should be strengthened to achieve sustainable development. We should have an objective and comprehensive understanding of the debt problem of developing countries. If the increased debt is accompanied by the improvement of indicators conducive to sustained and sound economic growth， such as the improvement of infrastructure， people’s livelihood and labor productivity and the reduction of poverty rate， it will be conducive to long-term debt sustainability. Investment and financing decisions should fully weigh the capital constraints of main market players， design reasonable financing structure and effectively control risks. Also， full consideration should be given to the country’s maximum debt bearing capacity to enhance its coordination of investment and financing ， thus ensuring the debt sustainability.

国家税务总局局长王军：采取有力措施，确保减税降费政策落地生根

　　Wang Jun， Administrator of the State Administration of Taxation Taking strong measures to ensure the full implementation of tax and fee cuts
　　中国税务部门将进一步推进与“一带一路”建设参与方开展税收协定的谈签，避免双重征税，化解涉税争议。此外，还将持续完善《“走出去”税收指引》，未来两年再更新发布100份国别投资税收指南，全面覆盖“一带一路”建设重点国家和地区。
　　税费负担是营商环境的重要指标。今年中国政府正在实施总量近2万亿元的减税降费政策，在更大规模增值税降率减税申报尚未开始、社保费降率政策尚未实施的情况下，一季度已新增减税3411亿元。
　　我们将与有关部门一道继续采取有力措施，确保减税降费政策落地生根，既惠及国内企业又惠及外资企业，既减轻市场主体的负担又促进经贸环境持续优化。
　　Chinese tax authorities will gear up for the negotiation and signing of tax treaties with participants of the initiative to avoid double taxation and resolve tax-related disputes. In addition， it will continue to revise the Guideline of “Goingglobal”Taxation， expecting 100 more guides on taxation and investment in the next two years for the key areas and regions of the Belt and Road.
　　Tax burden is a major indicator to assess the business environment. China is taking measures to cut taxes and fees with total amount reaching nearly RMB 2 trillion this year. And in the first quarter， RMB 341.1 billion of tax were reduced， despite the fact that the application for wider VAT cut has not yet begun and the policy of reducing social security premiums has not yet been implemented.
　　We will work with relevant departments to take effective measures to ensure tax cuts and administrative fee reductions are fully implemented， which will benefit both domestic and foreign enterprises， ease the burden on market players， and continue to optimize the economic and trade environment.
