设施联通

基础设施互联互通是”一带一路”建设的优先领域。在尊重相关国家主权和安全关切的基础上,推动沿线各国加强基础设施建设规划、技术标准体系的对接,共同推进国际骨干通道建设,逐步形成连接亚洲各区域以及亚欧非之间的基础设施网络。在推进设施联通过程中,还特别强调基础设施的绿色低碳化建设和运营管理,充分考虑气候变化影响。它既包括传统的公路、铁路、航空、航运、管道等的联通,也包括电力、电信、邮政、边防、海关和质检、规划等新领域的联通,从而将活跃的东亚经济圈、发达的欧洲经济圈和经济发展潜力巨大的中间广大腹地国家结成携手发展的利益共同体。

CONNECTIVITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE

Connectivity of infrastructure is a priority under the Belt and Road Initiative. While respect for each country’s sovereignty and security concerns is indispensable, a closer alignment of infrastructure development planning and technical standards is called for among the countries along the Belt and Road. Such a move would facilitate the construction of key international arteries, so as to build an infrastructure network that not only links all the subregions in Asia, but also extends out to Europe and Africa. Also essential is the need to promote a green and low-carbon approach to building and operating infrastructure, taking into full account the imperative to mitigate the impact of climate change. Rather than being confined to the traditional sense of connection by means of highways, railways, aviation routes, shipping routes and pipelines, the new notion of connectivity is understood to cover areas such as power supplies, telecommunications, postal services, border controls, customs, quality controls and integrated planning as well. Efforts to boost connectivity aim to link vibrant East Asia with developed economies in Western Europe, covering a host of other countries in between with huge potential for economic development.

贸易畅通

贸易畅通是”一带一路”建设的重点内容,旨在激发释放沿线国家的合作潜力,做大做好合作”蛋糕”、采取的措施主要包括：沿线国家共同建设自由贸易网络体系,消除投资和贸易壁垒,促进贸易和投资便利化;共同商建自由贸易区,构建区域内和各国良好的营商环境,激发释放合作潜力;共同提高技术性贸易措施透明度,降低非关税壁垒,提高贸易自由化便利化水平;共同拓宽贸易领域,优化贸易结构,挖掘贸易新增长点,促进贸易平衡;把投资和贸易有机结合起来,以投资带动贸易发展,在投资贸易中突出生态文明理念,加强生态环境、生物多样性和应对气候变化合作,共建绿色丝绸之路;共同优化产业链、价值链、供应链和服务链,促进沿线国家和地区产业互补、互动与互助;共同探索新的开放开发之路,形成互利共赢、多元平衡、安全高效的开放型经济体系。

UNIMPEDED TRADE

Removing barriers to trade with the aim of unleashing the potential for greater cooperation between countries involved is a major task in building the Belt and Road. Major measures the countries and regions along the Belt and Road could take include: creating mechanisms to facilitate free trade and the removal of investment and trade barriers; opening free trade areas to create a business-friendly environment at the regional and national levels and unleashing the potential for cooperation; improving the transparency of technical measures and reducing non-tariff barriers in order to liberalize and facilitate trade; expanding trading areas, improving trade structures and exploring new growth areas in order to attain trade balance; integrating investment and trade, and boosting trade with investment; incorporating focus on cooperation in ecological conservation, protecting bio-diversity and addressing climate change in investment and trade strategies in a joint effort to build a Silk Road to green development; and exploring new development opportunities to create an open economic environment that encourages the search for win-win solutions, respects diversity, enhances security and promotes efficiency.
