After revealing the reports recommendations for integrating these tools as part of a broader strategic approach to infrastructure development, our panel of experts and practitioners will share unique insights on topics related to capacity, financing, practical economic gain, and geostrategic ambition, as well as implications for Asian regional and global trade patterns and realignment.
