- Story Text:Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang met visiting leaders from Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Chile, Russia, and the heads of both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Beijing on Sunday (May 14) on the sidelines of the Belt and Road Summit in Beijing.
President Xi first met with Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev before meeting Indonesian President Joko Widodo. Xi and Widodo then oversaw a signing ceremony in which agreements were signed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation.
Premier Li then held separate meetings with Nazarbayev, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, IMF head Christine Lagarde, President of the World Bank Jim Yong Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
China has touted what it formally calls the Belt and Road initiative as a new way to boost development since Xi unveiled the plan in 2013, aiming to expand links between Asia, Africa, Europe and beyond underpinned by billions of dollars in infrastructure investment. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
