The pivotal position of Türkiye is emphasized as bringing prosperity and stability to the country.

It is discussed that the Belt and Road is essentially an artery that supports global prosperity. With the Belt and Road initiative, European products will reach Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and Georgia, and products like Azerbaijan's oil, Turkmenistan's natural gas, Uzbekistan's cotton, and China's silk will cross national boundaries

The article also underscores that the Belt and Road is a peace initiative, indicating that amid current geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestine-Israel conflict, people need this initiative more than ever. In summary, despite the numerous challenges facing humanity, the Belt and Road Initiative is portrayed as bringing hope and opportunities.
