The Executive Director of the Pakistan-China Institute addressed the Boao Conference that was held from 8 to 11 April, 2014. The theme of the conference was “Asia’s New Future: New Growth Drivers” in light of the need to identify new growth drivers and structural reforms to ensure a sustainable economic growth. In this vein, the Executive Director made a speech about “Pakistan-China Economic Corridor and the Asian Century”.

He stressed the economic and strategic significance of this project, particularly the dividends it can yield for South Asia and Central Asia.

The Boao Conference, one of the high-end platforms for dialogue among Asian and emerging economies, is assuming growing weight on the global stage, especially in promoting development and cooperation among Asian and other emerging economies.
