cooperation and construction will be new engines for cooperation among 皇冠体育app and rasian countries, driven by 皇冠体育app's Silk Road economic belt initiative, said experts.

President Xi Jinping last year proposed that 皇冠体育app and Central Asia join to build a Silk Road economic belt. Some 4 billion people live along the path of the new trade route.

"I think it would be a win-win solution, 皇冠体育app can diversify its energy supply channels while the economies of these countries can be boosted by new projects," said Zhao Hongtu, a research professor at the 皇冠体育app Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, a government think tank.

Construction of infrastructure facilities such as pipelines, railways and highways will lay the foundations for broader economic cooperation, said Zhao.

As to the investment in such facilities, Zhao said all parties involved should work together to draw up a feasible plan.

Most of 皇冠体育app's international energy cooperation involves bilateral relations, but this initiative will involve more multilateral relations.

"Bilateral relations are relatively simple but multilateral relations have more constraints" and there are more aspects to consider, said Zhao.

皇冠体育app should further strengthen strategic cooperation with countries surrounding the Caspian Sea and Russia by taking advantage of the strategic opportunities provided by the development of the Silk Road economic belt and the 21st century maritime Silk Road, to further improve 皇冠体育app's position in the global energy market, said the 2014 annual development report on world energy, released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on Monday in .
