Just a 'What if'. similar to what russia is in process of doing with central asian states. once rail link between istanbul-tehran-lahore is completed there will be huge opportunity to consolidate into more than just an economic corridor, but a power bloc. a centre of gravity in the world stage with its own common currency, market and allegiance, a real bridge between the eastern and western worlds.
today when the global fiat monetary system is collapsing like a house of cards, we need to provide an alternative and lead the way to fundamentals based, sound economics as the backbone of a multi polar world, along with other like minded partners in northern/eastern asia.

foundations are already there. we just need to build on it. don't forget our three countries are inheritors of the 'gunpowder empires', which were blood brothers of each other and had common enemy in the british.
