Review And Status of the Maritime Silk Road; Cultural and Civilizational Opportunities

Given the importance of communications in the present era, this research seeks to study solutions for increasing cooperation and convergence among the Persian Gulf countries and seeks to examine the effects of the revival of the Maritime Silk Road on the proximity and cultural-civilizational cooperation of the Persian Gulf countries. The findings of the research, which are based on the theories of logical convergence and structuralism, indicate that the revival of the Maritime Silk Road will initially increase and strengthen the economic, communication and tourism fields between the countries of the region. This will lead to a change in the images in the minds of the nations and governments of the region of each other and ultimately enhance the level of cooperation and their relations on political and cultural issues.
