A warm and wonderfullly insightful talk. Who knew that the No. 1 nation in female enrollments in engineering is Iran? The promise of the Silk Road Common Market is exciting indeed.

It is not only about China or Iran or any other, it is about EU-like common economic future minus bureaucracy.

Silk Road is more important to those land lock countries... almost a life line.

I find this very strange: when this lady talked about Silk Road, she always leave out China. Silk Road as its name implies begin or end at China. You can argue that a union should be formed without china for xxxx reasons. But you cannot discuss a Silk Road Initiative without referring to the role china plays, it the past and as well as the present OBOR initiative.
