China is committed to working with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner countries to enhance cooperation in law enforcement, judicial affairs and legal talent development, providing stronger legal safeguards for the high-quality development of the BRI, an official has said.
Chen Wenqing, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks on Sunday at an international forum on BRI legal services.
Chen emphasized that within the expansive platform of the BRI, which connects over 150 countries, the rule of law serves not only as a crucial foundation for international cooperation but also as a fundamental guarantee for shared development.
In recent years, China has worked to enhance international law enforcement and judicial cooperation, taking concrete steps such as establishing international commercial courts and launching pilot centers for international commercial arbitration, according to Chen.
He said that China is willing to work with all parties to strengthen the alignment of laws, policies, standards and rules, and to establish exchange and cooperation mechanisms for cross-border dispute resolution and legal talent development.
China hopes to integrate all legal service resources to provide a broader platform for multilateral cooperation among Belt and Road partner countries, he added.
