Show Notes

Ten years after China’s President Xi Jinping first announced his plans for a "Silk Road economic belt", world leaders gathered in Beijing for the third Belt & Road forum.
 
 Since 2013, more than 150 countries and over 30 international organisations have signed cooperation documents. But what's been the true global impact of the initiative? And what might the next ten years hold?

On this episode of The Agenda Juliet Mann speaks to Jean-Claude Trichet, Former President of the European Central Bank, and Erik Solheim, Norway’s former Environment Minister and now President of the Green Belt & Road Development Initiative.
