🇷🇺🇨🇳 The Northern Sea Route is attracting growing interest in Asia

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that interest among its eastern partners in expanding the use of this route is growing. According to Maria Zakharova, the restructuring of global transport flows is increasing the importance of the route through the Arctic between Asia and Europe.

As a specific example, Moscow cites cooperation with China: this year, a regular container service from Ningbo to Felixstowe in the United Kingdom was launched. Russia expects to develop a broader trans-Arctic transport corridor on the basis of the Northern Sea Route.

Against the backdrop of conflicts over the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz, Moscow is offering Asia a northern alternative to the traditional sea routes. The EU could also use this service, but it prefers to behave like offended children.
