Progress and Prospects” & Launch of the Book Series “Ten Years into the Belt and Road Initiative”
(8 Books in 9 Languages)
The third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation will be held in October 2023. As this year's biggest home diplomacy, this international event on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has attracted global attention. As one of the earliest think tanks to lay out the BRI, Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China (RDCY) has published more than 30 books on related topics, more than 400 articles in newspapers and journals in the past ten years, and has cooperated with think tanks in more than 10 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Egypt, to organize dialogues on related topics, and participated in the founding of the Silk Road School of Renmin University of China, which has been preaching and enrolling students in about 100 countries.
Following the publication of the Belt and Road Series with 7 books in 6 languages respectively in 2017 and in 2019 as the display books of the previous two summits, RDCY and Foreign Languages Press have once again cooperated to edit and publish the series of books and co-edited volumes of "Ten Years into the Belt and Road Initiative" (8 books in 9 languages), with Zhang Donggang, Chairperson of the University Council at Renmin University of China, acting as the editor-in-chief. Before the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, Renmin University of China, in cooperation with the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Languages Press and Nizami Ganjavi International Center, invited famous dignitaries and experts from home and abroad to jointly release the latest series of books and conduct a discussion on high-quality co-construction of BRI, to dedicate this year's important summit.
