About the Workshop
China’s Belt and Road Initiative intends to increase connectivity between China and over 60 countries along the old Silk Road’s land and maritime routes, and will be the main platform for China’s global integration efforts in the foreseeable future. Often referred to as “the most significant and far-reaching initiative that China has ever put forward”, the Belt and Road Initiative will play a transformative role in the future development of China and much of the world.
"The Belt and Road: From Vision to Reality” is a one-day workshop of case study presentations that look closely at how the Chinese government has approached investments and infrastructure in Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia and Kenya based on preliminary research findings conducted by IEMS Belt and Road researchers in Hong Kong and Russia. Invited guests will join a group of expert researchers and guests to exchange views on major trends of the Belt and Road in different countries, and participate in in-depth discussions on evidence-based research.
