Interview with Croatian expert: BRI yields fruitful results, launching a new phase of economic globalization

Over the past 10 years or so, jointly constructing the Belt and Road has brought fruitful results in boosting trade and investment between China and the Central and East European Countries (CEEC), which have given new dynamics to the economic development of the region, said Jasna Plevnik, president of the Geoeconomic Forum Croatia, in a recent interview with Guangming Online.

Today, the values and effects of the BRI are beyond regional, she said, in the face of the intensified anti-globalization sentiment, they are an important hedge against the US strategy of “decoupling” and bloc politics.

By creating conditions for intercontinental connectivity and economic interdependence, “China has initiated with the BRI a new phase of economic globalization featuring a fairer model and benefits for all”, Plevnik noted.
