The Greater Eurasian Partnership （GEP） is an initiative by Russia for pan-regional economic cooperation in the context of new economic situation. The initiative, while mainly focusingon promoting the Eurasian Economic Union （EEU） and with certain geopolitical flavor, takes China as an important partner by way of synergy with the China-proposed Silk Road Economic Belt.
As an initiative for pan-regional economic cooperation,Russia's Greater Eurasian Partnership has the dual objectives of coping with short-term pressures and building a regional order in the long run. Due to similarities in scope,objectives and priorities,it could go hand-in-hand with the Chinese Silk Road Economic Belt.
