Cooperation key to international supply chain security

Diplomats, scholars and corporate decision-makers gathered in Beijing on Thursday to chart a path toward more resilient global supply chains amid mounting geopolitical headwinds and trade fragmentation.

The 15th CCG VIP Luncheon, hosted by the Center for China and Globalization — a leading Beijing-based think tank, offered a platform for dialogue on strengthening supply chains through trade and investment. The forum brought together participants from 22 countries, including top scholars, ambassadors and executives from multinational corporations.

The gathering was held just days after the conclusion of the third China International Supply Chain Expo, which saw participation from 75 countries and regions. Notably, the number of US exhibitors rose 15 percent year-on-year, maintaining their lead among foreign participants.
