China is keen to work with the United States on the 'Build Back Better World' initiative
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday that China is interested in working with the United States on the G-7 global infrastructure program and welcomes Washington's participation in China's Belt and Road initiative.
The G-7, a group of the world's richest democracies made up of the United States and other allies, proposed a "Build Back Better World" initiative in June to meet the infrastructure needs of developing countries. They made the offer in response to China's growing influence.
In a video message on the 50th anniversary of Shanghai Communications, Wang Yi said, "We are also considering joining the US 'Build Back Better World' initiative to provide better quality public services to the world." Shanghai Communications was organized to normalize relations between the United States and China.
The G-7 countries' 'Build Back Better World' initiative is seen as an alternative to China's Belt and Road (BRI) initiative, which was adopted by President Xi in 2013. More than 100 countries have signed agreements on the BRI project to assist China in developing railways, ports, highways and other infrastructure.
Wang called on Washington to build a family of openness, innovation, prosperity, public relations and cooperation, without turning the Asia-Pacific region into a region of conflict and conflict.
He said the goal of President Nixon's historic visit to China was to enable the two countries to live together peacefully, even in two different social systems.
Foreign Minister Wang reiterated his call on the United States to end its support for the independence of autonomous Taiwan.
