Engineering Technology Cooperation in Energy and Resource Industry along the Belt and Road

Recently, China has become the world’s largest consumer of primary energy and mineral resources, and its import percentage of energy and resources has increased by years. The countries along the Belt and Road are rich of diverse energy resources, which complements China well. Energy and resource cooperation is an important part of the development of the Belt and Road, and is crucial in transforming geographical proximity and resource advantages into economic growth with mutual and sustainable development. This paper reviews the basis for China’s participation in engineering technology cooperation in the energy and resource industries of the Belt and Road, analyzes the problems in the cooperation, studies the cooperation prospects, and proposes measures for strengthening energy and resource cooperation.
