The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a development strategy proposed by China that focuses on connectivity and cooperation between Eurasian countries. It consists of two main components: the land-based "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the ocean-going "Maritime Silk Road". The initiative aims to promote economic development, trade, and investment, as well as cultural exchange and understanding, among participating countries. The BRI has been described as the largest infrastructure project in history, with investments in transportation, energy, telecommunications, and other sectors.
