At this Forum, CACI is pleased to feature three ambassadors whose countries are pivotal to the successful development of the southern corridor of the New Silk Road, a route opening trade and transport routes from Europe clear to Hanoi and on. Encompassing this wide network are the routes westward, to Europe via Istanbul as well as the Viking railroad north to the Baltic, and eastwards, through Pakistan and Afghanistan on to India, China and Southeast Asia. This Forum will particularly focus on bilateral, regional and international Trade and Transport agreements crucial to the realization of the network.

The Forum is preceded by a reception and light refreshments from 5 to 5:30 p.m. The program will begin at 5:30 p.m. and conclude at 7 p.m.
