Building The Digital Silk Road: China and Turkey

Turkey put forward a new Silk Road initiative named the “Middle Corridor” to integrate with China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” that includes Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway line originating from Xi’an China.

The main aim of the “Belt and Road Initiative” is improving logistical infrastructure and therefore about improving trade scope connect Asia, Africa and Europe via roads and sea lanes. The railway will reduce freight transportation time between China and Turkey from one month to 12 days.

But what about the so called “Digital Silk Road” which connects the two countries via the Internet and technology advancements. What do we need to do to enhance cooperation on the technology front to create opportunities for the young people in both countries?
