- Abstract
The Ice Silk Road, one of the routes of the New Silk Road project, is being actively developed by Russia and China. The most important part of the Ice Silk Road is the Northern Sea Route. The article considers the interests of Russia and China and shows that in creating the Ice Silk Road, the interests of Russia and China coincide as much as possible. In order to find out whether the route along the Ice Silk Road is advantageous, a comparative analysis with the traditional sea route through the Suez Canal was carried out. It has been concluded that for a number of positions the Ice Silk Road is a more profitable route. The transformation of the Ice Silk Road into a route open on a global scale depends on a number of reasons. The article emphasizes that the creation of the Ice Silk Road is not an attempt to replace the traditional route, but an opportunity for economic cooperation between the countries of the Pacific coast, and especially in the development of Arctic oil and gas resources. The interests of other countries to this project are considered as well. The joint projects on the route of the Ice Silk Road and the prospects for the development of this route are analyzed.
