Adil Kaukenov, a senior analyst of the agency for investment profitability, said at an international conference entitled “Prospects of regional development of Caspian states in the context of the five-sided cooperation of countries of the Caspian” that the sea had become a target for non-Caspian states long ago.
He noted that China had been interested in the sea for a long time. The analyst reminded that the new Silk Road economic analogue in the Caspian Sea could help improve transportation of energy resources, exports of Chinese products to Europe and stabilize the ground bridge with Iran.
The expert explained that China’s investment activeness was of a geopolitical nature.
