THE Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is pragmatic and open, and China should be the last one to be blamed for debt problems in BRI countries, Chinese Foreign Minister (FM) Qin Gang stressed on Tuesday at a press conference of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress.

The BRI is a quality public good that is proposed by China, jointly built by all parties and shared by the world. Thanks to its high standard, sustainability and benefits created for relevant countries, it's widely popular, attracting three-quarters of the world's countries and 32 international organizations to join, Qin said.
