“Friendship, which derives from close contact between the people, holds the key to sound state-to-state relations”, President Xi Jinping said at the opening ceremony of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. People-to-people connectivity greatly propels countries to join hands under the Belt and Road Initiative and ensures the sustainability of the initiative.

In order to enhance exchange between children from Belt and Road countries, the CSCLF held an activity titled Dreams of the Future in B&R Young Heart in Beijing on May 31, just before the International Children’s Day. Over 700 children from 40 countries and regions celebrated their festival together.
