答：中方提出“一带一路”倡议旨在通过推动基础设施建设和互联互通，挖掘各国经济增长动力，促进各国实现共同发展。“一带一路”建设秉持共商共建共享的原则，以互利共赢为目标。倡议提出5年来，取得了丰硕成果，产生了积极影响，受到了普遍欢迎。去年5月在北京举行了“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛，当时有140多个国家派代表出席，盛况空前。这是国际社会对“一带一路”倡议投出的“信任票”。

我们多次强调，“一带一路”倡议是开放包容的倡议，志同道合的国家均可参与，这也包括你刚才提到的那些国家，当然这要在他们自愿的基础上。

We have said many times that any country,as long as they share the same principle and vision, could take part in thisopen and inclusive initiative if they want to, including those mentioned byyou.

最后，我要强调，基础设施建设是经济发展的重要推动力。中方欢迎世界各国加大对基础设施建设的投入，希望各方本着开放包容、合作共赢的精神推动相关国际合作，共同促进区域和全球的经济发展，造福各国人民。

One last point I want to make is thatinfrastructure is an important driving force for economic development. Wewelcome larger inputs into the infrastructure field from other countries. Allcountries should strengthen such kind of international cooperation under theprinciple of openness, inclusiveness and mutually beneficial cooperation so asto promote regional and global economic development for the benefit of all.
