Journalists interested in learning about China's infrastructure investment in Southeast Asia can join this free webinar.
The ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) is hosting the webinar "China’s BRI in Southeast Asia: A Tale of Two Railways" on Aug. 15. It will explore how China-financed infrastructure has been implemented and perceived differently in varied local contexts by examining two completed railway projects in Laos and Vietnam, respectively.
This webinar examines how the political-institutional contexts in the recipient countries, and the levels of bilateral trust have influenced the outcomes of the two projects. It will feature two speakers, Nick Freeman, an independent consultant who has worked on a range of projects relating to Laos, and Nguyen Xuan Thanh, a senior lecturer in public policy at the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management, Fulbright University Vietnam.
