Press Conference with Bruno Maçães

You are here: Home / Blog / News / Press Conference with Bruno Maçães

EUROPE GOES SILK ROAD, a private initiative of young Europeans, regarding itself as the greatest expedition fostering international understanding in Eurasia, was officially presented during a press conference on Wednesday.

Vienna (OTS) – EUROPE GOES SILK ROAD, a private initiative of young Europeans who undertake a 33,000 km long expedition with a minibus from the heart of Europe, through the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia, to India and China, was officially presented at a press conference in the Diplomatic Academy on 5th June 2019.

Experts from the initiative’s advisory board, David Morris (UN ESCAP), Velina Tchakarova (AIES), Sebastian Kummer (Institute of Transports & Logistics Management – Vienna University of Economics and Business), as well as the renowned Eurasia and Silk Road expert Bruno Maçães, were present to discuss current developments along the New Silk Road and to assess potential contributions that the EUROPE GOES SILK ROAD initiative can make to a further understanding of them.

The initiative can be described as the most important expedtition fostering international understanding in Eurasia so far, as it aims to connect the different perspectives of economy, science, culture and diplomacy, in order to build a large international network and to understand the history, present and future of the continent. “The Europeans must stop being afraid and deal with the future of Eurasia,” Holler points out. “That is why we have launched EUROPE GOES SILK ROAD, the largest expedition fostering international understanding in Eurasia.”

Thus, the developments on the entire expedition corridor along the New Silk Road shall be experienced and illustrated. However, the initiators are not solely concentrating on China, but also on other regions and countries, such as the South Caucasus and India, which are of paramount importance and are also going to play key roles in the near Eurasian future. Here, Holler locates a great need of rethinking the Silk Road discourse in Europe: “The Silk Road is not just about China or trains. It is a metaphor for all trans-Eurasian connections. To capture this in its entirety, we connect perspectives from science, culture, economics and diplomacy.”

The renowned Eurasia expert and bestselling author Bruno Maçães stressed the importance of this project. “The EUROPE GOES SILK ROAD initiative is the right step into the right direction. It will be very successful in generating new knowledge on the topic. But it also has a high symbolic value for all of us. It underlines that we must prepare for the future, the future in a new world order,” he said. “Starting this expedition from Vienna also makes sense. Just as Metternich used to say, Asia starts at the Landstraße.”

But today we not only celebrate the end of WWII but also the establishment of the biggest and most successful peace project in human history: the formation of the first version of a European community which eventually evolved into the European Union. Nowadays, the EU is under pressure from outside and inside. The EU is not perfect how it is currently, but we should rather move forwards than backwards and bring the European community to the next level. More tolerance, more integration, more exchange, more coordination, more trust, more power to the European Parliament and thereby to all European citizens.
These days of WWII remembrance are especially an important warning of what consequences mistrust and nationalism imply, showing which turmoil we could tumble into again if we give up what we have accomplished. Let us instead choose a bright future of international understanding!
⠀
🇩🇪Wir wünschen Euch einen frohen Europatag!
⠀
Heute feiern wir nicht nur das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, sondern auch die Gründung des größten und erfolgreichsten Friedensprojekts in der Geschichte der Menschheit: die Bildung einer ersten Form von europäischer Gemeinschaft, die sich schließlich zur Europäischen Union entwickelte. Heute steht die EU von außen und innen unter Druck. Die EU ist nicht perfekt, so wie sie derzeit ist, aber wir sollten uns eher vorwärts als rückwärts bewegen und die europäische Gemeinschaft auf die nächste Ebene bringen. Mehr Toleranz, mehr Integration, mehr Austausch, mehr Koordination, mehr Vertrauen, mehr Macht für das Europäische Parlament und damit für alle europäischen Bürger.
Diese Tage der Erinnerung an den Zweiten Weltkrieg sind insbesondere eine wichtige Warnung vor den Folgen von Misstrauen und Nationalismus und zeigen, in welche Turbulenzen wir wieder geraten könnten, wenn wir das aufgeben, was wir erreicht haben. Lasst uns stattdessen eine glänzende Zukunft der Völkerverständigung wählen!
⠀
🇷🇺Желаем вам счастливого Дня Европы!

Happy Victory Day! Today, exactly 75 years ago, th Happy Victory Day!
Today, exactly 75 years ago, the alliance of Soviets, Americans, Britons and French ended WWII and thereby freed Europe and the world from fascism and the worst possible dystopia of the human mind. Not only Germans and Austrians should learn from their past. But let us all take this example as an impulse to learn from the errancies of the past and not poison our minds with guilt, finger-pointing and blamestorming but let us shake hands with our enemies, reconciliate as brothers and sisters and unite in pursuing together one common mission of humanity: Never again!
⠀
🇷🇺С Днем Победы!
Сегодня, ровно 75 лет назад, союз Советов, американцев, британцев и французов завершил Вторую мировую войну и тем самым освободил Европу и мир от фашизма и наихудшей возможной дистопии человеческого разума. Не только немцы и австрийцы должны учиться на своем прошлом. Давайте все возьмем этот пример как побуждение учиться на ошибках прошлого и не отравлять наши умы чувством вины, не указывать пальцем и не обвинять. Давайте пожмём руку нашим врагам, примиримся как братья и сестры и объединимся в совместной борьбе. Одна общая миссия человечества это - «Больше никакой войны!»
⠀
🇩🇪 Frohen Tag des Sieges!
Heute, genau vor 75 Jahren, beendete die Allianz von Sowjets, Amerikanern, Briten und Franzosen den Zweiten Weltkrieg und befreite damit Europa und die Welt vom Faschismus und der schlimmsten Dystopie des menschlichen Geistes. Nicht nur Deutsche und Österreicher sollten aus ihrer Vergangenheit lernen. Sondern lasst uns alle dieses Beispiel als Anstoß nehmen, um aus den Irrtümern der Vergangenheit zu lernen und unseren Geist nicht mit Schuldgefühlen, Schuldzuweisungen und Sündenbocksuche zu vergiften, sondern reichen wir unseren Feinden die Hand, versöhnen wir uns als Brüder und Schwestern und verfolgen wir zusammen eine gemeinsame Mission der Menschlichkeit: Nie wieder!

Personal moment of Network
⠀
Our entire life is about networks and consists of consistent networking. We grow up with them. Our families and friends are the first networks of our lives. Because of them we learn to recognize „the other“, get to know our own identities, start to communicate and experience what it means to act as collectives for the very first time. Soon we find out that a network or a community is what you need to realize any great idea you have in mind, any vision you are striving for. ⠀
What makes a network strong and of high value is not only the number of people who are part of it, but the wide scope of very different perspectives it offers. This has always been the case in the past and today it is even more so.⠀
The problems and challenges we are facing in a more and more globally connected world are no longer manageable alone, but need to be solved as a group of people, as collaborating organizations, businesses, countries and continents. ⠀
Today’s problems and challenges have simply become too complex to solve them with only a fixed view on the matter. In order to deal with them you need both, flexibility and diversity and in this regard no unity has greater potential than a network of people with very different abilities, backgrounds, thoughts and ideas.⠀
A network is the seed corn of any collaboration. A collaboration is the most promising way to any solution. Solutions are what humans have always been looking for. ⠀
The only question is which solutions we want to strive for today. Solutions to reach temporary wealth, power and short-term satisfaction, or solutions for a more sustainable world, a longterm plan of where we are trying to go and a vision for the future of humankind.⠀
