“印度—中东—欧洲经济走廊”计划评估

An Assessment of the“India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor”Plan

2023年9月,美国、印度及中东和欧洲多国出于对各自战略利益的考虑,联手推出建设“印度—中东—欧洲经济走廊”计划。该计划旨在整合走廊沿线的各种要素并建立协调实体,以解决走廊建设的技术、设计、融资、法律和相关监管标准等问题,通过加强亚洲、阿拉伯海湾、欧洲之间的互联互通和经济一体化来刺激经济发展,并显露出地缘战略意图。受地缘政治形势复杂多变、多国协调工作纷繁冗杂、项目建设资金筹措困难、美国总统大选前景不明等多重因素制约,“印度—中东—欧洲经济走廊”从规划到落地尚存在诸多不确定性。然而,若其成功实施,则可能对世界和地区局势产生重要影响,并给“一带一路”建设带来地缘竞争压力。鉴此,中国需予以妥善应对。

In September 2023,the United States,India and several countries from the Middle East and European Union jointly launched a plan to build the“India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor”out of the consideration for their respective strategic interests.This plan aims to integrate various elements along the corridor and establish a coordinated entity to address technical,design,financing,legal,related regulatory standards and other issues for the construction of the corridor,and stimulate economic development through enhancing connectivity and economic integration between Asia,the Arabian Gulf and Europe,thus revealing geostrategic intentions.Due to such factors as the complex and volatile geopolitical situation,the complicated multinational coordination,difficulties in financing the project construction,and unclear prospects for the US presidential election,there are still many uncertainties for the“India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor”from plan to implementation.However,if successfully implemented,the plan may have an important impact on the world and regional situation,and bring pressure of geostrategic competition on the“Belt and Road”construction.In view of this,China needs to respond appropriately.
