It has become known who will finance the creation of a route to Europe bypassing Russia
Russia's eastern neighbors have declared their readiness to sponsor the creation of a bypass route from Asia to Europe.
It is assumed that the logistics of the new trade route, which will connect the two parts of the world, exclude the participation of the Russian Federation.
Japan will finance the initiative, The Japan Times writes, citing government officials.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is set to announce a package of economic aid to Central Asian countries to help pave the way for the new route.
We are talking about Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan. It is known that the route will pass through the Caspian Sea.
The United States announced plans to build a new trade route. Japan supported the idea.
Prime Minister Kishida is expected to meet with the heads of Central Asian countries in Kazakhstan during his working visit, which will take place from August 9 to 12.
The Japanese politician also plans to visit Uzbekistan and Mongolia.
