Potential to Promote the Initiative “One Belt – One Way” in Russia

Today, there is a fairly  good level of cooperation  and  interaction  in various  spheres and on various issues between  Russia and China.  To a greater extent, this applies to trade and economic, military-political, cultural and educational  partnerships. There are quite a lot of factors contributing to this trend, but the key ones are: the presence of a high level of military-political, economic and socio-social sovereignty, as well as stability in both countries; a good level of diplomatic missions; the range of problems and dangers of the external environment are mutually  mediated  and identical  for both Russia and China;  the foreign policy courses of the countries  have  many  points of contact  in terms of vision  of global transformations and  transformations   of  the  world  market,  and  their  common  vectors  and  promising trends coincide; there are many  mutually  beneficial  projects in the field of economics, the implementation of which  depends on the level of achievement  of strategic the goals of both Russia and China both in the medium  and long term. It is important to emphasize that these trends  have  intensified, strengthened  and  acquired  a special conceptual  meaning  against the background  of heightened  military  and  political tensions in the world, the application of large-scale sectoral sanctions against Russia  by many  countries of the world, mostly by the  United  States  and  European  countries, the  strengthening  of diplomatic  confrontation between  China  and the United States, as well as in trade andin  the economic  sphere and on issues of determining  the status of fr. Taiwan. The  relevance  of studying  tactical  and strategic initiative  decisions, as well as prospects within  the framework  of the international model  of cooperation – “One belt – one road” certainly  has a high level of significance, has an applied meaning  and clearly expressed socio-economic and political expediency.  It is important  that this initiative  becomes a platform for productive  and  mutually  beneficial cooperation for countries and various organizations with the achievement  of maximum synergetic effect.  This  project should  become  the  starting point for the  implementation of the strategic vector in Russia’s international  policy – «turn to the East». The  study places clear emphasis  on the promising possibility of joint implementation of this project model of international  cooperation.
