The premier addressed such concerns in addition to vowing to keep BRI projects in line with sustainability checks, according to a joint communique issued at the end of the forum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome financial institutions from different countries to jointly invest and finance for Belt and Road projects, encourage cooperation in third-party markets and achieve mutual benefits through the participation of multi-parties,\u201d Xi said.<\/p>\n<p>Around 37 heads of state signed the joint statement.\u00a0Conspicuously missing at the forum were leaders from the US, India, Japan, Germany and
