"The One-Belt One-Road initiative has significantly come up with the manifold opportunities enabling China to connect with the rest of the region through the railway and road networks. Particularly, in the aftermath of lifting sanctions from Iran, the cargo train started the ride to transport the business good from the Yiwu town of eastern China and arrived in Tehran on the 15 February 2016.
China's One Road, One Belt policy illustrates the firm commitment towards creating increased opportunities for the economic progress and the development of its regional partners. The project effectively connects more than 60 countries and furthermore, the project prospectively includes the construction of the road network that connect the Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar through the BCIM-Economic Corridor and eventually links with the Silk Road, and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Moreover, the projects like Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road aim to employ the augmented efforts for the development strategies and link the Asia with Europe and the African countries intimately and endorse the objectives of mutual economic gains through the beneficial cooperation."
