欧亚“中间走廊”计划的演进及实践

Construction of the Eurasian Middle Corridor

土耳其在2008年正式提出“中间走廊”倡议,意在建设连接欧亚的战略运输通道,此后几经转折升级为计划并付诸实践。迄今,“中间走廊”计划的实践经过了三个阶段。2008—2015年主要集中于土耳其与沿线国家签订合作协议,为该走廊的初步构建奠定基础;2016—2021年则聚焦于建立联合工作机制,推进基础设施的系统性建设;2022年以来,“中间走廊”开始成为全球关注的焦点,战略地位显著提升。“中间走廊”计划的出台源于多重因素的共同作用。世界与欧亚形势的变化带来了重要契机,中亚国家不断努力实践,欧美国家加大战略投资;同时,中国与沿线国家大力推动“一带一路”与“中间走廊”的深度对接,强化了“中间走廊”的战略价值。不过,“中间走廊”建设仍面临一些挑战,如沿线国家基础设施现代化水平和政治稳定性不足、域外大国之间缺乏协调等,仍需在以后的实践中合力应对。

Türkiye officially launched the Middle Corridor program in 2008,aiming to build a strategic transport link between Europe and Asia.Since its inception,the construction of the Middle Corridor has gone through three stages:from 2008 to 2015,it focused on the signing of cooperation agreements between Türkiye and the countries along the route,laying the groundwork for the initial construction of the corridor;from 2016 to 2021,it focused on the establishment of a joint working mechanism for the systematic construction of infrastructure;since 2022,the Middle Corridor has become the focus of global attention,and its strategic position has been significantly enhanced.The rise of the Middle Corridor program results from the combined effect of multiple factors.Changes in the world and Eurasian situations have brought important opportunities;Central Asian countries have been constantly making efforts in practice;and European and American countries have increased strategic investment.At the same time,China and the countries along the route have promoted the deep docking of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Middle Corridor,strengthening the strategic value of the Middle Corridor.However,the construction of the Middle Corridor faces a number of challenges,such as the insufficient modernization level of infrastructure and political stability in countries along the route and the lack of coordination among major countries outside the region,which still need to be addressed in the future.
