Summary/Abstract: The New Silk Road Initiative was first presented in 2013 by the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping. The concept is based on the creation of infrastructure to connect Asia with Europe and Africa. The possible routes of the Road go around the Caspian Sea basin. The emergence of new states after 1991 has changed the nature of the established international agreements on the status of the sea-lake. For more than 20 years, the coastal states have not been able to agree, but: Let us be optimistic that the Caspian countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Iran have approached wisely and invested in a productive idea - reaching a decision in the spring of 2018, in the city of Astana to sign a Convention on the International Legal Status of the Caspian Sea.
