TRANSNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY: SHAPING FUTURE STRATEGIC TIES

With increasing global uncertainty and changing world order, connectivity corridors become crucial for fostering trade, resilience, sustainability, and global integration. International corridors like IMEC and EMC are vital for reimagining global trade. With India anchoring both, these initiatives position the country as a key connector across continents, enabling diversified trade routes and fostering strategic partnerships. In this context, MoPSW and CRF are featuring diverse voices to explore the concept, need, and viability of transnational corridors, emphasizing inclusive and actionable partnerships. With an eye on investment, interoperability, and sustainability, the event will position India as a natural leader, convenor of future-ready, globally aligned, and equitable connectivity solutions.
