Original title: Scientific and technological innovation supports the joint construction of the Silk Road
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. The recently held third “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum announced China’s eight actions to support high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, and “promoting scientific and technological innovation” was among them.
Looking back on the past, scientific and technological innovation has provided strong impetus to the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”.
Over the past 10 years, scientific and technological innovation has promoted the “One Belt, One Road” initiative to become a road to win-win cooperation, with joint projects achieving fruitful results and benefiting hundreds of millions of people. In the international joint water-saving irrigation laboratory project jointly built by China and Egypt, the advanced water-saving irrigation system from China provides an effective solution to the problems of high temperature, drought and water shortage faced by Egypt’s agricultural development. The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project jointly constructed by China and Indonesia not only uses a large number of advanced technologies from China, but also trains thousands of relevant technical personnel for Indonesia, forming an important talent support for Indonesia’s future railway development. Practice has proven the leading and supporting role of scientific and technological innovation in the construction of the “Belt and Road” and has also attracted more and more partners to join the “Innovation Silk Road”.
As of the end of last year, the “Belt and Road” international science and technology organization cooperation platform construction project launched by China has attracted the participation of more than 200 international organizations and more than 1,000 national organizations, covering more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and has implemented a total of 152 projects. , supported the establishment or preparation of 30 regional science and technology organizations, 36 joint research centers of international science and technology organizations, and 5 national science and technology issue research centers, and trained more than 119,000 scientific and technological talents. The “Belt and Road” international scientific organization alliance initiated by China has 67 member units. China has also built eight transnational technology transfer platforms for ASEAN, South Asia, Central Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and Latin America, and established a “South-South Cooperation Center for Technology Transfer” under the United Nations South-South framework.
Looking to the future, the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” will bring more opportunities for technological innovation.
The world today has entered a period of profound changes unseen in a century. The world’s multi-polarization is accelerating, economic globalization is moving against the trend, and regional conflicts are casting a new haze. We must see the severe challenges facing mankind, and we must also see that mankind is an interdependent community with a shared future. The historical trend of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win is unstoppable. The people’s yearning for a better life is unstoppable. All countries can achieve common development and prosperity. The desire is unstoppable. Hegemony is unpopular, and win-win cooperation is the answer. China has pushed the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” into a new stage of high-quality development, and has received active support from all parties. In the next “Belt and Road” joint construction, it will be the aspiration of the people and the general trend to continue to promote global scientific and technological innovation collaboration to respond to the global challenges facing mankind, and to share the opportunities brought by the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation with all countries. .
Of course, the first 10 years are just the prologue. There are still deficiencies in scientific and technological cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, and the new stage will also put forward new and higher requirements. From the perspective of “training internal skills”, the “One Belt and One Road” initiative also needs to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation planning through top-level design, achieve integration and coordination with domestic regional development strategies, and solve problems such as competitive policy conflicts among local governments and unmatched and uncoordinated policy implementation levels. . From the perspective of “strong external relations”, we also need to further improve our international voice, deeply understand the scientific and technological innovation situation of the co-building countries, establish evaluation standards and evaluation systems for scientific and technological cooperation, break down various barriers, and shape various scientific and technological innovation elements with low costs. The ecology of cross-border mobility.
The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” itself is an innovative move, and the success of the “Belt and Road” must also be driven by innovation. We hope that in the next 10 years, technological innovation will inject more golden sunshine into the joint construction of the Silk Road. (Yu Huimin)
