Romania, and Poland joined the project.
At present, the route starts at the Chinese-Kazakh border,

In the current context of growing threats to global security,
stability, and economic development, strengthening cooperation
between the three countries in the transport and communications
sectors is of great importance in terms of preventing and reducing
risks and challenges at the regional level.
