Anhui has been unwavering in its participation in the Belt and Road Initiative. On December 3rd, journalists learned from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission that Anhui has been continuously consolidating its foundation for foreign cooperation and strived to expand new spaces for openness, achieving fruitful results in participating in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The channels and platforms for opening up continue to deepen and expand. Taking railways and shipping as examples, the high-speed rail operating mileage reached 2,662 kilometers, ranking first in the Yangtze River Delta region. Major maritime facilities such as the Huaihe River main channel regulation project and the Phase III terminal project of the Wuhu-Ma'anshan river-sea intermodal hub have been completed. From January to October, the China-Europe Freight Train (Hefei) has operated a total of 779 trains, added 57 new routes and 27 international stations, achieving point-to-point direct access to 152 international station cities in 20 countries including Russia.

High-quality foreign investment has been introduced. From January to October, Anhui utilized $10.5 billion in foreign direct investment. The province signed and is constructing 161 projects with a total investment of $30 million or more, amounting to a total investment of $40.37 billion. From January to October, Anhui completed a business turnover of $1.74 billion in contracted projects in Belt and Road Initiative countries and signed new contracts worth $2.26 billion; five new engineering projects each worth over $100 million were signed, four of which are located in Belt and Road Initiative countries like Uzbekistan.

Anhui focuses on strengthening "soft connectivity" and "heart-to-heart connectivity" with Belt and Road Initiative partner countries. In its international exchanges, Anhui participated in the 9th China-Russia "Yangtze River-Volga River" Youth Forum held in Russia and organized a series of events titled "Beautiful Anhui Engages with the World." The province also conducted a series of cultural exchange activities in 14 countries and regions, including Russia. A number of "small but beautiful" projects have been accelerated, such as the implementation of 13 new energy projects by Sungrow Renewables Development Co., Ltd. in Belt and Road Initiative countries.
