A multilateral project to deepen Eurasian links

The Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, proposed by President Xi Jinping, are China's strategic initiative. It is true that the Belt and Road Initiative can deepen China's relations with neighboring countries and promote peace and stability through common development. But what does the initiative mean for Eurasian countries?

The Belt and Road Initiative has four characteristics: peace, openness, fairness and tolerance. It means not being against any country or group, non-interference in another country's internal affairs, attracting all interested countries and international organizations, and respecting their wishes. The initiative, contrary to what some people think, is not an international project dominated by China. Instead, it is a long-term strategy of cooperation with all regional and international mechanisms.

The Belt and Road Initiative is committed to promoting the development of communication in Eurasia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Eurasian communication and logistics systems slowly disintegrated. And it became difficult to establish a new, modern transportation system, at least in the short term, for lack of funds.
