UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- China's Belt and Road Initiative is a public good China offers the world, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday.

Addressing the General Debate of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly, Wang said the initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping has grown into the largest platform for international cooperation.

"It aims to deliver benefits for all through consultation and cooperation," he said, adding it is open, transparent and inclusive.
