The Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the Land &Maritime Silk Road Initiative or the "One Belt, One Road" Initiative, refers to China’s proposal to build a Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. During his visits to Central and Southeast Asia in September and October 2013, respectively, Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled the plans to implement this initiative in cooperation with related countries.
