  Karim al-Omda, professor at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, said that China has paid close attention to the BRI by facilitating trade between the participating countries, and has prioritized mutual benefits in cooperating with other countries.

  "China transfers its experience and technology and makes great progress in the mobile networks and the 5G technologies which will improve the world growth rates and increase the trade volume that suffered a decline during the COVID-19 period," he said.
  Cambodian People's Party spokesman Suos Yara said that it's vital for countries along the route to jointly build the Belt and Road, "especially to maintain an open and liberal international economic architecture," and promote "win-win cooperation."
  The BRI is "evolving to become a key pillar in global governance," said Yara, adding that he is convinced that the BRI will create more economic development opportunities for Cambodia and safeguard regional and global peace and development.
