The key takeaway of President Ebrahim Raeisi’s state visit to Beijing goes way beyond the signing of 20 bilateral cooperation agreements…
This is a crucial inflection point in an absorbing, complex, decades-long, ongoing historical process: Eurasia integration.  Â
Little wonder that President Raeisi, welcomed by a standing ovation at Peking University before receiving an honorary academic title, stressed âa new world order is forming and taking the place of the older oneâ, characterized by âreal multilateralism, maximum synergy, solidarity and dissociation from unilateralismsâ.
And the epicenter of the new world order, he asserted, is Asia.
It was quite heartening to see the Iranian president eulogizing the Ancient Silk Road, not only in terms of trade but also as a âcultural bondâ and âconnecting different societies together throughout historyâ.
Raeisi could have been talking about Sassanid Persia, whose empire ranged from Mesopotamia to Central Asia, and was the great intermediary Silk Road trading power for centuries between China and Europe.
