United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to participate in the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF). The forum is set to take place over two days in the Chinese capital. Guterres, who assumed his role as the U.N. Secretary-General in January 2017, has previously expressed his positive stance on the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, recognizing it as a "very important opportunity" for the world.
