With 60+ countries agreed to attend the event, Its interesting to note: India refused to take part on this OBOR project. China's arch rival Japan sent a official team, but India refused to attend the submit.

China repeatedly blocked India's move to Ban terrorist Azad[1], blocked their NSG bid and their flip-flop on Arunachal. so India prefers to stay away from China-led project.

Russia is watchful about rising Chinese influence in their regions. Once they used to be major partner and China played minor role. Now the trend reversed.Russia knows that too.

And Chinese media, says: India and Russia tipped to be the big winners from China’s massive ‘Belt and Road' investment: http://www.scmp.com/business/article/2094224/india-and-russi...

the event isn't that impressive

"The Chinese government had hoped to assemble a weightier guest list to Mr Xi’s premier international forum. But many heads of state and government, especially from G7 and OECD nations, were reluctant to participate in what they thought might be little more than a propaganda coup for China’s ruling Communist party.

Only seven EU heads of state or government, most from smaller eastern European countries, accepted Mr Xi’s invitation"
