The New Silk Road Book

New geopolitical events and economic transformations have happened in the area of the ancient Silk Road. Escalating
tensions in the Middle East, issues in the Red Sea region and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine show that new alternative and sustainable trade routes must be mapped out between Europe and Asia.

The New Silk Road will bring hope amidst these dramatic events. It is focused on the Middle Corridor – a link that will bring new opportunities for diversification of the modern trade.

THE SUSTAINABLE SILK ROAD: NAVIGATING INVESTMENTS AND INNOVATIONS IN THE MIDDLE CORRIDOR

The year 2024 brought the key change as the EU Global Gateway project was launched. European, Central Asian and other governments, financial institutions, businesses and communities together started the project of a new corridor between themselves, alongside with the traditional ones. This initiative is a shared version for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability epitomized by a great €10 billion investment pledge from international financial institutions to foster sustainable cargo connections in Central Asia.
