Across Borders: Connecting Regions, Building Resilience

As economies across Asia and beyond deepen regional integration, cross-border connectivity can support trade, investment, resilience and shared prosperity. Yet realizing the full potential of regional connectivity requires more than infrastructure alone. It calls for integrated transport and logistics networks, stronger regional cooperation, digital innovation and innovative financing solutions that connect markets, people and opportunities across borders. This session will explore how transport corridors can develop beyond individual national investments into coordinated regional systems linking Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe and global markets. It will examine how railways, ports, logistics hubs and digital technologies can work together to strengthen connectivity, facilitate trade, and enhance economic resilience. | www.aiib.org/annualmeeting
