Policy Address

III. Belt and Road Initiative

38.         At the end of March 2015, our country issued a document entitled “Vision and Actions on Jointly Building Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road”, outlining the development ideas and blueprint of the Belt and Road Initiative.  The proposed “five areas of connectivity” – policy co-ordination, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration and people-to-people bond – will foster the concurrent development of the Belt and Road countries and strengthen co-operation on the political, economic and cultural fronts. 

39.         As a highly open economy with extensive and strong external connections, Hong Kong uniquely demonstrates the characteristics of “two systems” among our country’s many cities.  The HKSAR Government will play an active role to facilitate the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.
