Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a possibility of the creation of a fundamentally new global transport configuration in the Eurasian space with the use of the Northern sea route (NSR).
“We are investing significant resources in the development of the Northern sea route to make it globally competitive transportation artery,” – Putin said, speaking in Beijing at the opening of the “One Belt, One Road” international forum.
As President of the Russian Federation noted, “on a broader scale, infrastructure projects announced within the framework of EurAsEC (The Eurasian Economic Community – editor’s note), as well as initiatives of “One Belt, One Road” in conjunction with NSR are able to create a fundamentally new transport configuration of the Eurasian continent”.
“This is a key to the development and revival of economic and investment activity. Let us work together to pave the ways of development and prosperity,” Vladimir Putin urged.
