For centuries, trade routes have shaped not only the movement of goods, but also civilisations, economies, and the balance of power.
Today, a new trade corridor is gradually taking shape. The completion of key infrastructure at Iraq’s Grand Faw Port and the opening of the first road link of the Development Road Project mark some of the first tangible milestones of this ambitious vision. Recent agreements between Türkiye and Iraq have also given fresh momentum to the project.
Stretching from the Gulf to Europe through Türkiye, the corridor aims to do more than move cargo. It seeks to strengthen regional co-operation, diversify global supply chains, and offer a new route for international trade.
A New Silk Road for the 21st Century explores the story behind one of the region’s most significant infrastructure projects, examining its vision, its challenges, and its potential to reshape the future of trade.
