Abstract: Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has received significant attention worldwide due to its relevance with United Nations Agenda 2030 sustainable development. Although a positive link between BRI and Agenda 2030 exists, however, the fundamental relation between BRI and Agenda 2030 was not understood explicitly, especially how these two developmental visions could be integrated. Against this backdrop, this paper attempts to develop a deep understanding of how BRI and Agenda 2030 intersect each other from a perspective of sustainable development. With this background, the present study intends to explore the importance of the Belt and Road Initiative in line with Agenda 2030 to promote global sustainability through cooperation, collaboration, shared visions, and investments among BRI countries. The study further suggests that integration of BRI and Agenda 2030 opens new horizons to the world for global cooperation, connectivity, multilateral growth, and economic development for a better and more sustainable future.
