Every autumn, the Joint Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-CIS/Georgia (JCC) organizes a big conference on Central Asia and the South Caucasus devoted to a specific topic. In 2017, we examined the impact of China's One Belt, One Road Initiative on Central Asia and the South Caucasus.

The third JCCC New Silk Road Forum will build on the second. Titled "New Silk Road Forum III - China's 'One Belt, One Road' Initiative (BRI): Creating New Infrastructure, Energy and Trade Linkages from China through Russia, Central Asia and the South Caucasus to Europe", Forum III will take place on September 18, 2018 at OBC-Suisse AG, Zurich.

JCC is partnering again this year with the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC). Registration is open. Please join us.
