If Azerbaijan is allowing Russian and Iran to connect via a railway, I hope Azerbaijan gets a signed agreement with Russian and Iran and Armenia to allow a rail connection between the two parts of Azerbaijan and uninterrupted sea connection with Kazakhstan.

Down the line if Pakistan can get to Central Asia by rail via Afghanistan, it can bypass Iran and Russia if western and GCC related central Asian trade and a route. Also it would make Gwadar an important port to get around the Middle East of trade coming from Africa.

China is negotiating with Russia & Kazakhstan.

China is willing to invest in digging a canal connecting Russia's Kama and Tobol rivers, so that Chinese ships can go directly from China's Xinjiang Irtysh River through Kazakhstan, Russia's Volga River to the Black Sea, and ultimately to the Mediterranean Sea.

I remember this proposal from years ago. But considering most of the work will be in Russia, how will Russia and Kazakhstan compensate China? Is there a barter trade of a fixed amount of natural resources or perhaps a redirection of Russian rivers south and into China. I remember China wanted some water from Lake Baikal to go to China. Also China wants access to the ocean from the Tumen River, which could help make Shenyang province and China’s north east provinces economically competitive again with the coastal provinces.

The biggest problem with this negotiation is the reluctance of the Russian government. Russia has always been very wary of China, and they have been negotiating for a long time to even expand the Siberian Railroad. Because of the war in Ukraine, there has been some change in the attitude of the Russian government now.

Turkiye is among the most important countries of the Modern Silk Road project (from China to London)

Turkiye play a key role in the Modern Silk Road with its recently attracting mega investments like Marmaray, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Eurasia Tunnel, Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, 3rd Airport. The Edirne-Kars High-Speed Railway line, which is carried out together with the Chinese, is one of the important steps taken within the scope of the project



Strategic Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway Project ( 838 km )

The BTK Railway was the missing link of the much-heralded middle corridor of the New Silk Road, which is a multimodal trade route that goes from China to Europe via Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey ........ opened 30 October 2017

( goods will be able to reach Europe heading from South Korea, China, and India within 15 days ....... considerably less time than a journey by sea )
