HNA Group, parent of Hainan Airlines, plans to play a bigger role in advancing transportation services next year for multilateral cooperation in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative areas, its CEO Huang Qijun said.
"We will launch more routes connecting China with the Belt and Road countries, help our counterparts build and manage airports to improve local transportation services and introduce high-end tourism routes with distinguished Silk Road features," Huang said.
The Belt and Road Initiative includes the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, to promote multilateral development of the linked regions.
The initiative has since witnessed tangible commitments by China, including the launch of a New Silk Road Fund worth USD 40 billion in late 2014.
