Through synergy, anything we do will be more effective and have bigger impact. This is one of the most important lessons of this pandemic. And we can apply this lesson in many other areas, including the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation. The key to BRI cooperation is synergy.

H.E. Ir. H. Joko Widodo, President, Republic of Indonesia

Hong Kong also has a defining role in the Belt and Road Initiative, as its primary platform. Building on its economic strengths and local talent, Hong Kong can connect the various Belt and Road partners, which includes assistance with Chinese investments in such overseas countries as Hungary.

Attending the Summit allows me to hear and see something that I would not have thought of, for example UAE being the hub for going into Africa. Maybe we thought about it, but not really listening from a speaker. This kind of interaction is very important to allow me as an audience to have a wider perspective. This is a very very good way of having a hybrid model.

The forum was the best it could be given the circumstances. It was not the same but the medium of delivery allowed me to attend multiple sessions whilst also presenting at Pitch sessions.

I think the Belt and Road Summit always gives us a good macro perspective of what is happening in the market.

My participation at the Summit today went very well, and the guidance by supporting staff and the connection were smooth. Under the new normal of the epidemic, this online conference model is an effective way of regular communication and information sharing. Online activities are more efficient and less likely to be affected by external influences.
