ECU Business Flashlight - 4 May 2018

INSIGHTS INTO THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE

Edith  Cowan University’s  School  of Business   and   Law invites   you  to the  ECU  Business Flashlight,  a  regular forum  for  researchers and  practitioners to  engage  in collaborative  dialogue  with industry and government on relevant issues in business and management.

The Belt  and Road  Initiative  (BRI) is  an  economic and  foreign  policy project that focuses on reviving the ancient  Silk  Road, which  was  the main  trade  route from  China  to Europe   centuries   ago. BRI would connect three continents – Asia,  Europe  and Africa; covering a total of 3.2 billion people that is almost 45% of the world population. BRI is a blueprint for China to  explore co-operation  with new economic partners. What does BRI mean for Australia? In this forum, the Hon. Bill Johnston MLA  along  with three  other   speakers will provide their insights and discussions on this topic.
