| Summary: | The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China in 2013 is without a doubt the most ambitious connectivity project of modern times. The implications in terms of trade, cultural exchanges, infrastructure building and development are significant. This paper gives a description of this initiative in its various objectives - not only as the last part of Chinese domestic economic development strategy that started in the eastern regions in the eighties; but also as a geopolitical and international project, highlighting China's new role in the world. Although Latin America is not geographically part of this initiative as it is presented today, this does not mean that the implications and opportunities of this project are not important for the region. |
