New Silk Road Forum V
Link to webinar: https://zoom.us/j/96998744136
Join us again at the jointly organised New Silk Road Forum V for a BRI assessment six years down the road and where it will lead next. The forum will take place in an afternoon format.
BRI is
creating two new trade corridors – one overland, the other by sea – which are
connecting China with its neighbors in the west: Central Asia, the Middle East
and Europe. Same as many other industries and business, the novel coronavirus
crisis has impacted the business in the countries along the BRI. Hence, our
focus of this year’s conference
is “COVID 19 and China's BRI – Impact on Linkages in Energy, Infrastructure
& Trade through Central Asia and the South Caucasus to Europe”.
This conference is jointly organised by the Joint Chamber of Commerce (JCC) and the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC).
