westwards this was basically about geo economics i think now we begin to see far more clearly the belton road yes is a jackson moment project but it has a very clear geo strategic intent lab around that we're already see that basically a means of establishing an consolidating and expand. influence you really asks and thing in return you know as political regime change or anything like that you will america see what it does ask for things i mean look at the way in which china has tried to act in a very typical divide and rule fashion in winning over some european countries with respect to its position on the south china sea so it does not simply look at it through an economic lens it's tries to use that economic advantage for political and strategic answer as well and i see a little something that we're beginning to understand far more than we did which is why there is a far greater understanding of the need for us to be united visibly china because of course it is very easy for china to aaa its game and therefore the 17 plus one and various other initiatives where it's in our interests o

belton road project is principally around we see discussions about uniting that unifying that within the regime economic community which the russians have built we see rota being built we see railway lines not been discussed we've seen massive pipelines that are now coming into really soon coming into action transporting russian gas and oil to china we see talk about joint ventures to develop the arctic and the vast arctic reserves of gas and oil that the russians have we see talk between the russians and the chinese to unity unify. systems and china is very advanced in that field and russia much less so but we see that happening we see discussions about between the russians and the chinese to develop joint aircraft projects they will be co-hosting the max 2019 air show in moscow i mean this is a gigantic enterprise and if i can just say something about some of the themes that were discussed in the 1st segment really interesting comments about d.-day but here we see the western allies looking backwards exactly on team 44 under chinese and the russians looking for it into the 21st cen

it is very important belton road. with the economic union will give us a chance to develop our economies together. the recent years we have seen significant improvements in the russian economy for us including trade and other sectors. infrastructure which has been one of the most successful areas in russia. we are very surprised to see that growth. and road will be. when you platform for successful integration or the eurasian economic union you're probably taking our economic cooperation to the next level. that will. let me ask you about russia china relations especially about the economic aspect you said that our 200 days are growing ever closer relations are getting stronger and that both economies are on the rise and putin and presidency have met many times presidency has been called mr putin his best friend however over the 1st half of 2018 chinese investment into russia to crease by 24 percent today clad the same time china is invested quite a lot you know worldwide which makes russians wonder why is china invest

it is there basically for economic reasons with the belton road. so i'm wondering given the fact that china seems to me presents a longer term attractive position, what should america be doing now to take on that potential challenge which i believe is going to be a very real one. >> well, certainly i agree it's a very real challenge. and that it's something the united states has to very actively confront and engage in and i think our great strengths are the ones we're trying to leverage which is actually very significant economic power. i mean, go back to the energy piece. we are poised to become a net energy exporter and china is an importer. that's a strength for us. it's an area where we can really leverage that i think in our favor. i also think that we can play a more attractive leadership role. mesa is precisely that sort of initiative where if you can encourage the region to increase its own resilience and prosperity internally that that would be more attractive to sovereign nations as a model. so this is not a competition that we in any way

belton road initiative i think what also the west is wary of is that it's the demonstration effect or nothing succeeds like success because we have countries like italy for example getting involved in this initiative in certain sectors if this takes off and. those come to fruition it will have a demonstration effect and erode what. the remaining western institutions like they have a form of germany this is what they fear they fear a success go ahead before i go to. absolutely that's exactly what they're afraid of i really look at this gigantic you regime economic and political system that is being created and we should talk about a system rather than an alarming answer because i entirely indorse the view that this is not directed against anyone exactly west westerners lesson to see this and it means that they are no longer west is no longer at the center of the economic and political universe as it has been in fact potentially eurasia would outmatch them in economic resources now an intelligent policy would be to partner with it to join in with a long way instead of what what they're

surely you were and are pursuing the 6 years since the launch of belton road initiative the corporation has brought very impressive results which have by far surpassed all expectations and the built in road initiative has become one of the most interesting little public products with a very broad coverage around the world all free trade. benefits to the nations located along the belgium groomed initiative area made communication easier and it helped establish contacts between people along the route and many new cultural projects and facilities you have emerged around the regions affected by the one built on road initiative helping raise living standards through all the local populations and just recently actually italy has officially joined the build a road initiative inviting more european states for cooperation and. multiple documents signed by italy and china were published more and more european countries started to realize that the agreement actually complies with the european standards and their interests in this project board has been growing ever since chinese position has not c

people mention belton road as an example. what the ambassador was saying is people in many other countries where china is investing and doing the belton road, we would like other people to be investing in our infrastructure also. and we would actually like to diversify and more is better. it's not like people are kind of willingly leaving themselves to chinese investment. we tend to lose that perspective here. in part because investment does not flow from government policy as directly. but just emphasize the importance of what the ambassador was saying. i want to switch sides right in front of you. we will take a couple. we will move to the front. >> thank you for a wonderful program. do you think -- how pakistan managed a political and economic crisis? thank you. >> so as far as i understand. he is listed under 1267. and pakistan is fulfilling all its legal obligations under the un sanctions regime. which does not involve handing over anyone to anybody. about the economic challenges, as i have responded to judge earlier, abo

ally of the european union and the united states of course led in marino has signed up to china's belton road what role do you think china will have because wiki leaks and julian assange exposed washington interference in the americas but i can tell you that is that there is as your political war between the united states and china and latin america and region is in the middle of the battlefield they are fighting for latin america's place in the united states they cannot play it allowed the influence chinese influence in their region so they are pursuing any let you know their governments that are going to have close relationships with it china and finally do you believe julie innocence will be extradited to the united states. i am almost sure i hope to be wrong i hope to be mistaken but. for president rafael correa thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday for when donald trump comes to britain to meet the queen and maybe nigel farage until then keep in touch via social media we'll leave you with german born british socialist walter wolfgang defending jeremy corbyn and

putin is his best friend if you like a one of his best friends around the world in various ways this belton road initiative this much talked about what's that going to bring to the party as far as russia is concerned. well we're working very closely with china we created russia china investment fund which is a partnership between russian direct investment fund which i have and china investment corporation and we made investments all of them generate very good at attractive return and yesterday we announced the formation of a new investment fund with china in technology we also made dell 1st deal in venture capital with holden which is a major techno park in china and also we close our investment in russia jointly with os megafauna mailboat are you will build the largest platform in russia so lots of great important corporation with china it's really important because it's similar to a last minute thing over the last 10 years president putin the president of china including president xi have been working to improve russia china relations there definitely it's a poll right now and we need to
