Abstract
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a significant, long-term project launched by the Chinese government in cooperation with several other nations The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a significant, long-term project launched by the Chinese government in cooperation with several other nations. It aims to hasten the global economic growth rate by promoting trade facilitation and improving logistics. This article lists the logistical and supply chain developments connected to the BRI. These innovations include a wide range of topics, including creating new trade routes and modes, planning effective supply chains, lowering logistical obstacles across international borders, and encouraging entrepreneurship. These advances are already underway in some instances, but others are constantly being developed. By using them, firms may improve operational efficiency and produce a profit. The BRI's promise has to be realized by introducing new work procedures, using cutting-edge technology, aligning incentives, working with other firms, and improving planning. There are several chances for scholars to investigate when it comes to removing obstacles and maximizing the advantages of the BRI. Researchers may help create solutions to overcome these obstacles and allow the BRI's members to benefit from the accompanying economic benefits by exploring these issues.
