International Forum on the “New Silk Road” and Sino-European Cooperation
The New Silk Road is etching a modern network of overland and maritime trade routes across the international landscape. Since 2014, one section of the rail route has connected Chongqing in central China with the city of Duisburg in the heart of Europe. Here, experts from around the world will gather on 8-9 November 2017 for the third time to discuss this major project and its implications for Sino-European cooperation.
The Confucius Institute and the Institute of East Asian Studies (IN-EAST) at the University of Duisburg-Essen together with their two Chinese partners are expecting about 100 participants from 23 countries to attend the event. Anyone interested in the topic is welcome to register for the public panel discussion on 8 November.*
The panel will include key figures from politics and business: Dr Djoomart Otorbaev, former Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan, Johannes Pflug, China Representative for the City of Duisburg, and Guanzhe Cao, Project Manager Asia at Duisburger Hafen AG. Dr Herbert Jakoby, Head of Economic Policy at the NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs, will introduce the event together with Haiyang Feng, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Düsseldorf.
