Abstract
A proper summary of the experience in social infrastructure development aid to **njiang is the key to promoting people-to-people ties and steady progress of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) through social construction. Such experience is to take the development of social undertakings as an integral part of the work for supporting **njiang’s development, so as to share the reform dividends among everyone. The social infrastructure development aid is designed to build up **njiang’s sustainable development capacity, realize the organic integration of “supporting **njiang”, “stabilizing **njiang” and “prospering **njiang”, and promote **njiang’s economic and social development at the same time. Based on this aid-to-**njiang experience, the construction of CPEC shall obey four principles: put people first, and insist on co-construction and sharing; meet the needs of people, and win their support and recognition; promote resident-city interaction, and strengthen coordinated development; form social composite strength, and encourage organizational involvement. In short, on the basis of summarizing the experience in social infrastructure development aid to **njiang, the vigorous construction of CPEC will promote the benign development and smooth operation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
