“It is imperative that the world become less primitive and reject the use of force and massacres in order to benefit from the opening up of new passages for trade and freight that the Belt and Road initiative promises,” Dr Mahathir said at one of the sessions for the Second Belt-Road Forum in Beijing.
“Although trains can now connect China with Eastern Europe but current trains are not designed for the increases in goods and people needing to travel along this passageway,” Dr Mahathir said. He also spoke of the improvement in the speed of trains, and asked if it is possible to build safer fast trains to cope with the increased needs of trade today.
