Interview with Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn from Kuhn foundation

The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will take place on the 14 and 15 May in Beijing.

The Belt and Road Initiative, officially known as the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, was first proposed by China in 2013.

Since then, over 100 countries and international organizations have responded warmly to the Initiative, with more than 40 signing cooperation agreements with China.

For more on this, CRI's Guo Yan earlier talked with Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn from Kuhn foundation who's also attending the upcoming Belt and Road Forum.
