today. The CIS member states are looking to restoring it. This issue
was discussed at the session of the council coordinating transport
communication in CIS countries. The routs of the Great Silk Road pass

organizing corridors for goods transportation from China to Europe
are being elaborated jointly with Ukraine. During the upcoming 5
