Ten years on, since the start of the BRI, over 3,000 cooperation projects have been launched, involving close to $1 trillion of investment and creating 420,000 jobs for participating countries. Many nations have thus realized their dreams of railways, big bridges, and poverty alleviation.
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been playing a significant role in the development of the ASEAN countries. Many projects are established under the BRI framework to support the economy and infrastructure in the ASEAN countries in the past 10 years since its founding in 2013.
