Closer bonds urged along Belt and Road

Members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee on Friday discussed measures to promote closer people-to-people bonds among countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative at a consultation session in Beijing.

The biweekly session was held by the CPPCC National Committee, the country's top political advisory body. Wang Yang, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, presided over the session.

Wang stressed the importance of understanding that promoting people-to-people bonds is a crucial part of the Belt and Road Initiative and also a guarantee to ensure the steady development of the initiative.
