CAREC to benefit from cooperation with BRI, says official
The forum is being hosted by the Central Asian Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC), Xinhua reports.
The CAREC program, initiated by the Asian Development Bank in 1997 to encourage regional cooperation, includes Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
Sanjaasuren Bayaraa, director of the CAREC Institute set up in Urumqi, China, to enhance CAREC programs through knowledge generation and capacity building, said CAREC should coordinate and collaborate with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for win-win results for all sides involved.
Like the BRI, the CAREC economic corridors also include infrastructure, energy and agriculture projects, he told Xinhua.
The director said it would be a win-win situation if BRI and CAREC work in collaboration.
