Over the past 10 years, Belt and Road international cooperation has grown rapidly and produced fruitful outcomes, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday.

The cooperation has extended from Eurasia to Africa and Latin America, and more than 150 countries and over 30 international organizations have signed cooperation documents, Xi said in a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.

Belt and Road cooperation has progressed from "sketching the outline" to "filling in the details," and blueprints have been turned into real projects, Xi said, adding that a large number of signature projects and "small yet smart" people-centered programs have been launched.

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) represents humanity's joint pursuit of development for all, Xi said. It has opened up a new path for exchanges among countries and established a new framework for international cooperation, he added.

Covering the land, the ocean, the sky and the internet, the global network of connectivity built under the BRI has injected fresh vitality into the millennia-old Silk Road in the new era, he noted.
