Xu Yunfeng, Secretary-General of the Cultural Communication and Economic Development Research Group under the Belt and Road Initiative and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for China’s Economic Reform and Development at Renmin University of China, stated that Henan Province is now embracing a historic opportunity for development under the Belt and Road framework. As part of its active participation in the Belt and Road initiative, Henan has strategically positioned itself as a vital integrated transportation hub and a leading trade and logistics center along the initiative, as well as a key platform for regional cooperation within the New Eurasian Land Bridge Economic Corridor and an inland gateway for opening up to the world.
