Importance of the Silk Road in Asia and Europe and effect on Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)

The length of the Silk Road, depending on the different routes, was between ۶,۴۰۰ and ۱۰,۰۰۰ kilometers. The Silk Road began in north-central China in Xi'an (in modern Shaanxi province) and extending to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Syria and Jerusalem. The Silk Road, which was once the economic, cultural and religious route of the world, is now considered a golden opportunity in tourism and social relations. The Silk Road, which previously created a deep bond between various Asian and European societies, can now be a bridge to revive economic and cultural relations between countries. Iran, with its geographical location (land and sea), plays a key role in its development and expansion. The Silk Road, due to China's political and economic power in the world and Asia, has led to the development and deepening of trade and economic relations between Asian and European countries and Russia. Taking advantage of this opportunity, India, Turkmenistan, Iran, Pakistan and Kazakhstan have promoted their position in the global economy, created various land and sea routes and railways, diversified energy exports and imports, provided, facilitated and increased security for countries, and provided mutual benefits, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is an intergovernmental Eurasian organization formed for multilateral security, economic and political cooperation
