[...] Economic corridor is a space, a region: it “connects economic agents along a defined geography” and is “integral to the economic fabric and the economic actors surrounding it.”2 Therefore, while looking into the soft and hard infrastructure of the CCWA Economic Corridor, the chapters below describe the situation not only on the main China to Turkey route but on secondary networks and exits to othe. [...] Chapter I overviews transport corridor initiatives the countries are involved in, the logistics performance of the countries, the existing operational and physical bottlenecks with due consideration of the restrictions and opportunities related to COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic on international transport and trade in the subregion. [...] However, the infrastructure in the east of the Islamic Republic of Iran requires upgrades to provide the required capacity.1 The CCWA Economic corridor can gain a lot from existing connection beyond the eight countries that provide alternatives for the purely CCWA routes.
