Beijing (CRI Online) – In the year of 2024, “Belt and Road Initiative” has wrapped up its first vigorous decade and been actively embracing a new golden decade.

Looking ahead, how can BRI achieve new developments of higher quality and higher level? Based on this, China Radio International Online launches "Dialogue with Ambassadors in China: China's Role in the Global Governance" series, interviewing a number of ambassadors to China from BRI partner countries and inviting them to share their perspectives.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first", a proverb widely spread in China, has now become a reality in Jamaica through the Belt and Road Initiative. H.E. Arthur Williams, Jamaican ambassador to China, said that Jamaica's Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project built by China will make an area, which has been somewhat unknown, accessible and bring overall development to the region. How does he project the further developments of BRI cooperation? How to create more linkage in the field of sports between the two countries in the future? Let's hear what he has to say.
