Hao said that President Xi Jinping proposed the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013 based on building a community with a shared future for mankind.Over the past six years, central SOEs have actively responded to the initiative and are fully using their advantages to build a number of leading major and hallmark projects, focusing on economic empowerment, mutual benefit, win-win results, and sustainable development. They have become an important force driving the Belt and Road Initiative to progress from concept and vision to actions and reality.

Hao emphasized that Hong Kong, as an important international financial, trade and shipping center and possessor of what is recognized as the freest economy in the world, plays an important and unique role for central SOEs in Belt and Road construction.

SASAC and central SOEs are willing to work together with all parties to make full use of Hong Kong's advantages under the "one country, two systems" policy as a matured service sector and an international innovation and technology center. They will take up the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area construction opportunity to achieve new collaboration in reform and opening-up and major projects and innovation-driven development to construct a world-class bay area. SASAC and central SOEs will strive to enrich the BRI and promote Hong Kong's economic and social prosperity and development.
