Also, more than 500 foreign companies will participate in the forum, which will be held on November 28-29.
The Tbilisi Silk Road Forum aims to establish a platform for an annual high level meeting where interested parties can get together and explore opportunities, align visions and enhance bilateral partnerships in four main areas of cooperation: transport, energy, trade and business-to-business contacts.
The Tbilisi Silk Road Forum is an important opportunity to deepen economic, political and cultural ties between Asia and Europe. The forum aims to create and establish a discussion platform where Silk Road initiative countries, international organisations and private sectors will discuss issues of international and regional trade,” says the Ministry of Economy.
