From January to October 2025, China's foreign contracted engineering business showed a strong growth trend. According to statistics, the entire industry achieved a turnover of 960.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%; The newly signed contract amount is 1508.25 billion yuan, a significant increase of 19.4%. This transcript fully demonstrates the competitiveness and development resilience of China's engineering construction enterprises in the global market, becoming a vivid footnote to China's high-level opening-up to the outside world.

It is worth noting that the joint construction of the the Belt and Road countries has become the main engine of business growth. In the first 10 months of 2025, Chinese enterprises signed a total of 1333.81 billion yuan in new national construction contracts, a year-on-year increase of 24.4%, accounting for nearly 90% of the total amount during the same period; Completed a turnover of 804.24 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%. These figures show that the the Belt and Road Initiative has entered a new stage of high-quality development, and cooperation projects are moving towards a more in-depth and pragmatic direction.

The continuous optimization of business structure is also noteworthy. Currently, China's foreign contracting projects are accelerating their expansion from traditional labor-intensive projects such as housing construction and road and bridge construction to high value-added fields such as green energy, digital economy, and intelligent manufacturing. In multiple regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, China's construction of high standard photovoltaic power stations, intelligent transportation networks, modern industrial parks, and other projects has not only created a large number of job opportunities for the local areas, but also brought advanced technology and management experience to the host countries.

At the same time, the construction of international talent teams in Chinese enterprises is constantly strengthening. From January to October, Chinese companies dispatched a total of 349000 laborers of various types overseas, an increase of 25000 compared to the same period last year. Among them, there are both experienced engineering technicians and a large number of skilled operators. This not only effectively supports the smooth implementation of overseas projects, but also makes a positive contribution to the cultivation of industrial talents in the countries where the projects are located. Key words: the Belt and Road

Behind this impressive performance report is a true portrayal of Chinese builders' adherence to high standards, sustainability, and benefiting people's livelihoods. Looking forward to the future, with the continuous growth of global infrastructure demand and the deepening of the Belt and Road cooperation, China's overseas contracting project business will usher in a broader development space, and contribute more Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to promote global economic recovery and common development.Editor/Cheng Liting
