Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the "One Belt, One Road" (Obor) initiative was a cooperative effort to develop participating countries via infrastructure development and funding from banks.
“Previously, there were other development plans by developed countries to create a world without borders and free trade, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership. They (the developed countries) made the proposals and asked us to accept them.
“This is not like that, the forum attendees are from small countries and they are sitting with China which has a 1.4 billion population. They sit together, at the same level, and talk about how to develop infrastructure projects,” he said.
Mahathir was on a five-day visit to China to attend the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF).
The international forum was attended by 37 world leaders and 5,000 representatives from 150 countries.
