I Belt and Road Initiative
 B&R INITIATIVE
In September 2013, Chinese President XI Jinping proposed a Silk Road
Economic Belt, and in October, a 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, together
now referred to as the Belt and Road Initiative.
It integrates the historical symbolism of the ancient Silk Road with the new
requirements of today.
• It showcases the fact that China, as
the largest developing country and
the world’s second largest economy,
shoulders its wider responsibilities in
promoting international economic
governance toward a fair, just and
rational system.

• China will make new, greater

contribution to building a community
with a shared future.
 B&R INITIATIVE

·The initiative is a Chinese program whose goal is to maintain an open

world economic system, and achieve diversified, independent, balanced,
and sustainable development, and also a Chinese proposal intended to
advance regional cooperation, strengthen communications between
civilizations, and safeguard world peace and stability.

·It carries forward the spirit of the Silk Road characterized by “peace
and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning, mutual
benefit and win-win results”. The countries concerned adhere to the
principle of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration.
 B&R INITIATIVE

·The initiative calls for policy coordination, connectivity of infrastructure

and facilities, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and closer people-to-
people ties.

·The Belt and Road initiative is aimed at sharing with the world
opportunities brought by China’s development. China welcomes all
countries to board its express train of development, where they can
achieve common development through win-win cooperation.

·As of 2021, cooperation documents have been signed with 141 countries and
32 international organizations.
 B&R INITIATIVE

First Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was held in May 2017,
attended by 29 heads of State, 130 countries, 70 leaders of international
organizations and 1500 participants. Second Forum held in April 2019 issued a
joint Communique of the Leaders’ Roundtable, which affirms that strengthening
multilateralism remains essential in addressing global challenges.
II Regional Cooperation
 BRI & METEO COOPERATION

·Along Belt and Road regions, rainstorm, flooding, typhoon, heat

wave and drought, low temperature and cold wave are frequent. All
countries are confronted with shared challenges such as disaster risk
reduction, and response to climate change.

·WMO is a Specialized Agency of the United Nations since 1951 for

meteorology (weather and climate), operational hydrology and related
geophysical sciences.

·The vision of a community of shared destiny, interests and

responsibilities by building Belt and Road is consistent with WMO’s
vision of a more resilient society which needs to be based on
promoting international and regional meteorological cooperation and
strengthening regional meteorological exchange, which could be most
beneficial to the most vulnerable nations.
 BRI & METEO COOPERATION

中国气象局
China Meteorological Administration

·CMA actively cooperates with WMO, its Members and international

organizations. It has established 23 bilateral cooperation agreements,
participates in and provides support to various programmes and activities.

·CMA intends to strengthen the meteorological cooperation with the countries

and regions along the Belt and Road, including NHMSs with bilateral
cooperation agreements, plans and projects.
BRI & METEO COOPERATION

May, 2017

The Letter of Intent Between the China

Meteorological Administration and the
World Meteorological Organization to
Promote Regional Meteorological
Cooperation and Co-build the Belt and
Road was signed.
LETTER OF INTENT

To contribute to the efforts of countries along the belt and road

in meteorological disaster management, mitigation of the
impact of climate change and implementation of WMO
sponsored or co-sponsored strategies and programmes,
including Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Global Framework
for Climate Services (GFCS), WMO Integrated Global
Observing Systems (WIGOS) and WMO Information System
(WIS), Transportation Meteorological Services (TMS,
including air, water and land) and Polar and High Mountain
Regions Observation, Research and Services (PHORS)
activities.
Regional Framework

The First China-ASEAN

Meteorological Forum in
September 2016 adopted
