The Crossroads of Peace from Paris to Beijing

It is clear that the whole world is now trying to find new logistical rules to strengthen ties between countries, and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, as well as Armenia’s “Peace Crossroads” initiative, are part of this common search, aimed at creating new or better ties. This was stated by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in an interview with China Central Television (CGTN).

“The “Peace Crossroads” initiative of the Republic of Armenia is fully consistent with the vision of “One Belt, One Road”. The main idea is to provide better connectivity between Europe and East Asia, Paris and Beijing, and we clearly see the free and unhindered movement of goods and people from Paris to Beijing, from France to the South Caucasus, to Armenia, and then, for example, to Central Asia, through Kazakhstan, to China. And if this better connectivity is implemented and works smoothly, we call it the “Crossroads of Peace”, we call it “One Belt, One Road”, it will benefit all countries and all peoples and help governments ensure or achieve their main goal, which is to ensure the well-being and happiness of their citizens. This fall, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit will be held in the Chinese city of Tianjin. And as a dialogue partner of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Armenia sees its total trade with China increasing year by year,” he said.
