Eurasian transport corridors make Eurasia more resistant to the challenges of world geopolitics: an opinion of the Russian expert
World geopolitics is undergoing a profound transformation: the US intends to impose its rules of the game on the world in both the economy and the world security system. Countries and regions are becoming hostages to the internal political struggle in Washington. Under these conditions, it is extremely important for countries of established regional groups and associations to have reliable transport corridors and routes that allow them to be relatively independent in their logistics from US dictates and their willingness to undermine the stability of the traditional world highways." It was commented today to the Eurasia EXPO-TV’s correspondent by Dr. Nick Evsenkin, the head of the Analytical Center of the Council of Exhibition and Congress Activity of the Assembly of Peoples of Eurasia.
"Now, when the rates in world politics are higher than ever, the US can go on creating obstacles to the movement of goods and cargo along the main transport routes. The occasion will suit anyone: from the fight against terrorism, to the persecution of violators of American sanctions. It is extremely important for the countries of Eurasia to develop their intra-Eurasian transport routes in these circumstances. For example, goods from India can reach Europe not only in Suez, but also along one of the routes of the "North-South" INSTC, as well as through Iran-Afghanistan-Kazakhstan-Russia-Europe. It is clear that at this stage these routes are not sufficiently developed and debugged, but they are quite real and for their active involvement requires only the political will and finalization of some stages of these routes,” the Russian expert added.
"These are the issues to be discussed during the business program of the “EURASIA-EXPO: Transport Routs’2018" International Exhibition. Its central element will be the International Conference "Transport Routs of Eurasia: Actual Problems and Ways of Solving them", which will be held on September 26, 2018 in the conference hall of Pavilion 3 of the Sokolniki Exhibition Center. The officials of the Ministry of Transport of Russia, representatives of the embassies of India, Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, heads of transport and logistics business associations and companies of these countries are invited to participate in the conference.

In view of the US’s anti-Iranian sanctions, the countries-founders of International North–South Transport Corridor need to undertake additional efforts for the successful development of the Project: an opinion of the Russian expert
“Russia, Iran and India need political will and additional efforts for the successful development of International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC)”. It was commented today to the Eurasia EXPO-TV’s correspondent by Dr. Nick Evsenkin, the head of the Analytical Center of the Council of Exhibition and Congress Activity of the Assembly of Peoples of Eurasia.
"The total pressure of the US administration, which is currently seen by countries in Europe and Asia on a number of key issues of international trade, inevitably affects INSTC. "Where Eurasian transportation projects include Iranian territory and the Iran's full-scale participation, they automatically fall under the hard American pressure. International North–South Transport Corridor, unfortunately, can not be an exception. Look at the way in which the Americans are imposing on New Delhi their positions on the S-400 complexes and India's purchases of Iranian oil."
"In these circumstances," the Russian expert believes, "the key countries-participants of INSTC should not succumb to American pressure, but make extra efforts to launch the Project in full. International North–South Transport Corridor is the purely Eurasian exercise and in no way concerns the US and their national security. We need only show political will, and also remove the existing shortcomings and bottlenecks, so that that this transport corridor becomes workable and commercially interesting for the countries of South and South-East Asia on the one hand, and Western Europe on the other," Dr. Nick Evsenkin added.
