Economic Belt," Shuvalov said in a Saturday interview with the Russian

Russia Welcomes China's Silk Road Economic Belt Initiative
The Silk Road Economic Belt stipulates the implementation of multiple
energy and infrastructure projects in various countries, including the
construction of new railroads, highways and industrial parks that will
start in the coming years. This will facilitate the flow of goods from
the East to the West on preferential terms.
"All counties willing to participate could be included, they are being
included in this cooperation so that a variety of infrastructure and
economic possibilities are created for the participants of the
business project," Shuvalov said, adding that the Silk Road Economic
Belt will create new opportunities together with the Eurasian Economic
Union (EEU).
The EEU is an international organization aimed at regional economic
integration. The union facilitates the free movement of goods,
services, capital and labour on the territories of its member states.
Current EEU member countries include Russia, Armenia, Belarus and
Kazakhstan, with Kyrgyzstan expecting to obtain membership shortly.
The Silk Road Economic Belt project was initiated by Chinese President
Xi Jinping in 2013 seeking to boost cooperation between China and
Central Asia. The Silk Road projects, numbering in the hundreds, will
be implemented in several regional states, including Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.
