/ world immediately information/ “One Belt One Street” exhibits that the worldwide ambition of the Chinese language political management is the creation of a brand new financial and political system that’s extra useful for all of humanity,” the deputy from the forty ninth Nationwide Meeting and Chairman of the Political “Vazrazhdane” get together and its parliamentary group Dr. Kostadin Kostadinov in an interview specifically for KMG.
Query: Dr. Kostadinov, this yr is the anniversary of Chinese language President Xi Jinping’s mega-initiative – “One Belt, One Street” – an initiative that
has had an important affect on world growth in numerous areas of life and the emphasis wherein is the achievement of a neighborhood of shared future. Inside the framework of this initiative, a whole lot of infrastructure and funding initiatives had been carried out, various strategic agreements had been signed and plenty of concepts had been shared within the fields of economic system, innovation, tradition, science, schooling. Might you touch upon what you suppose the which means of “One Belt, One Street” is?
Ok. Kostadinov: The need expressed by Xi Jinping was extraordinarily critical: to revive the Silk Street, which has linked Europe and Asia for greater than millennia, and which is definitely the oldest traditionally documented commerce route. This need expressed by him was extraordinarily bold. From this standpoint, the primary 10 years of the “One Belt, One Street” megaproject are too quick a interval. Nevertheless, we are able to say that what has been set as an ambition by the Chinese language political and get together management has succeeded, however we are able to additionally say that the restoration of the Silk Street within the type of the One Belt One Street challenge ” is undoubtedly probably the most bold and large-scale geopolitical occasion firstly of the twenty first century, which comprises solely and solely peaceable political and financial initiatives – one thing that we’re not used to seeing, as a result of we’re witnessing that in the meanwhile, to a big extent, the world geopolitics is dominated by wars and the politics of violence.
The coverage proposed by China and the Chinese language authorities of mutually useful commerce contacts, of mutually useful political partnership, which lacks the standard US mannequin of dominance, a mannequin of favoring just one aspect, is undoubtedly a qualitatively new strategy to reformulate world geopolitical relations.
As a result of the “One Belt, One Street” challenge has lengthy since surpassed the outdated geographical framework of the Silk Street. It has additionally unfold to the international locations of South Asia and reached Africa, which exhibits that the ambition of the Chinese language political management is world. However this world ambition just isn’t about imposing political and financial energy on China, however about creating a brand new financial and political system of a multipolar world that can truly be far more useful to all of humanity.
Q. As chairman of the “Vazrazhdane” get together, please give your opinion on the relations between Bulgaria and China throughout the framework of the mega-project in the meanwhile and the way do you suppose they’ll develop sooner or later?
Ok. Kostadinov: As for our nation – Bulgaria, my opinion is that each one of us who need it to develop effectively ought to hope that this challenge will win over the approaching a long time the minds and hearts of the peoples of Eurasia, and never solely there, as a result of additionally it is very worthwhile for us.
And on this regard, I can’t however share my opinion that, sadly, our nation is extraordinarily passive concerning this challenge. And it’s passive for political causes, sadly for us. Our home and international coverage is dictated solely by the American embassy, which is endlessly humiliating, as Bulgaria might not at the moment be among the many largest international locations on the earth, however it’s the oldest nation-state in Europe. And we’re one of many oldest nations on the earth. And exactly for that reason, it’s infinitely humiliating and very disagreeable for us as a folks and as a rustic, that we’re not the topic of our personal historic future and of our personal political being.
For that reason, what we have to do is as quickly as doable and within the quickest means, to have the ability to get entangled on this challenge, in order that we are able to reap the benefits of completely all its benefits that it provides. Bulgaria has an exquisite geopolitical state of affairs, it’s positioned on the crossroads between Europe and Asia – a spot that has not modified in the previous few thousand years. For that reason, the failure to make use of this place of ours and the truth that China extends a hand and we don’t settle for it – that is neither extra nor much less – nationwide betrayal – each to us and to the long run generations of Bulgaria.
