Experts from the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan believe the new Silk Road, linking China with Europe, can be extended further eastward to their countries.
They expressed the hope at the 2007 International Symposium on Regional Economic Cooperation along New Silk Road held in Lanzhou, capital of northwest China''s Gansu Province, as the route shows huge potential in promoting the economic growth along the region.
The new Eurasian Continental Bridge is also called the new Silk Road as it is much like the 2,100-year-old old Silk Road in terms of its regional shape.
The 10,900-km continental bridge links eastern China''s ports of Lianyungang and Rizhao with Amsterdam of Holland and Antwerp of Belgium.
Kwaak Yong Hoon, an economic PHD and chairman of KWAAK HwangKyung Group in ROK, said he hoped the road and its tremendous business opportunities could be extended to his country.
