Industries see opportunities in Xi's proposal
 |
| Jan Rinnert, chairman of Heraeus. |
The Belt and Road Initiative is an encouraging and visionary initiative. Today's it's more focused on physical infrastructure investment, with substantial financial systems in place such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as the cornerstone. In the future it will lead to cultural and people-to-people exchanges.
The initiative would require extra efforts and coordination among public-private partnership, something that Europe can share some experiences with China.
The initiative will lend new momentum for the company's growth. Actually Heraeus has already been doing business in countries along the route. In the future, we look forward to the digital and data infrastructure building under the Initiative where there is a larger role for us to play.
