The New Silk Road
Governments globally are seeking ways to put in place
effective, sustainable international growth strategies that
deepen trade and investment relationships with both
existing and emerging international trading partners.
One of the most ambitious strategies in recent years
is the Chinese government’s development of the
New Silk Road Plan. This is a major project from a
construction, financing and political perspective, and
represents a flagship example of the way in which
governments are investing in infrastructure, a crucial
means of promoting growth through international trade
and investment.
