摘要：以高水平对外开放开创合作共赢新局面是党的十九届五中全会的重要议题。文章以2008—2017年“一带一路”沿线国家为研究样本，考察不同国家与中国的友好城市交流程度如何影响该国在“一带一路”倡议提出后的国际竞争力发展，深入挖掘“一带一路”倡议推动沿线国家共建共赢的影响机制，并尝试对加速“十四五”时期对外开放政策的落地生根进行有益思考。研究发现，在倡议提出后，历史上与中国友好城市交流程度较高的沿线国家的国际竞争力明显提高，并且这一影响主要得益于这些国家在基础设施、行政机构、金融市场发展、劳动力市场效率以及商品市场效率等方面的全面提升。进一步的研究显示，对于“一带一路”沿线的内陆国、低收入国、外汇紧缺国以及高人口红利国来说，通过城市结谊有益于其更好地共享“一带一路”倡议的发展成果。文章不仅揭示了国际城市结谊在落实国家高水平对外开放顶层设计中的重要作用，而且也为推进“十四五”规划的落实提供了政策参考。

Summary: As an important strategy for China’s opening up in the new era, the Belt and Road Initiative has an extensive and far-reaching impact on promoting the construction of a multilateral and global system and furthering the exchange and cooperation between the Third World countries. According to the previous practical experience, the construction of the Belt and Road mainly promoted cooperation and joint construction through a series of specific and pragmatic policies, and has made considerable progress. However, during the construction of the Belt and Road, it is not enough to focus on institutional arrangements. The significant cultural differences between the countries along the Belt and Road and China may also become an invisible resistance to the construction and development of the Belt and Road. Thus, for the first time, this article tries from the mitigation mechanism of cultural conflicts between countries to find some new ideas that will help to further promote the win-win cooperation of the Belt and Road.Specifically, taking the countries along the Belt and Road from 2008 to 2017 as a sample, this study examines how the degree of friendship-city exchanges with China in different countries affect the country’s international competitiveness after the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed. We find that after the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, the international competitiveness of countries along the Belt and Road with a high degree of friendship-city exchanges with China in history has been significantly increased; and that is due to the significant improvement in infrastructure, administrative institutions, financial market development, labor market efficiency, and commodity market efficiency. Further research shows that it is beneficial to share the development achievements of the Belt and Road Initiative through the establishment of international friendship for landlocked countries, low-income countries, countries with a shortage of foreign exchange, and countries with high demographic dividends along the Belt and Road.The contributions of this study could be concluded in three aspects: First, it enriches the academic understanding of the economic impact of the Belt and Road, and confirms that the Belt and Road Initiative helps countries along the Belt and Road to improve their international competitiveness, and validates the economic effect of the win-win cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative. Second, it expands the research literature on the economic value of international friendship between cities and finds that under the grand cooperation framework oriented by international economic cooperation, international friendship between cities has a significant role in deepening international cooperation and enhancing the international competitiveness of participating countries. Third, under the complex international situation, this study provides policy reference for promoting the win-win cooperation of the Belt and Road and accelerating the high-level opening up during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
