“中国在推进现代化的过程中之所以成功，原因在于以民为本。”瑞典“一带一路”研究所所长史蒂芬 布劳尔日前接受中新网采访时表示。他指出，以民为本的理念是中华文化的重要组成部分。他还认为，“一带一路”框架下，所有国家和国际组织与中国订立的合作协议，都是秉持着自愿和合作原则，中国并没有将自己的意愿强加在其他国家身上。(薛凌桥)

(ECNS) -- “One of the reasons I think that has been so successful, in terms of China's internal modernization improvement is because of the foundation of the common good”， said Stephen Brawer, chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden in a recent interview with China News Network on his ideas on the Chinese modernization and the Belt and Road Initiative.

Brawer pointed out that the foundation of the common good has been a part of the Chinese civilization. He added that cooperation agreements signed by countries who are working actively with China are based on a cooperative principle, and they are not something that is being imposed. (Xue Lingqiao)
