Besides the EU presented two railway projects. Railway connection India- Near East- Eastern Europe should be in this moment the most direct connection between India, Near East and Europe and would enable around 40% faster transport of goods.
The second project concerns Transafrican corridor, which should ensure a connection between the port Logito in Angola with region Katanga in Congo and Zambia. The purpose of this project is to enable the inland African countries the connection with the sea.
Additionally the EU applied itself for the protection of the global digital order.
