China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor Management Training-Workshop3:Institutional-related Issues

Описание: A series of training-workshop is organized to strengthen subregional connectivity in East and North-East Asia through effective economic corridor management. China, Mongolia, and the Russian Federation signed the Program of China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor in June 2016 aimed towards the expansion and development of the trilateral partnership through the implementation of joint projects. There are 32 approved projects under the Economic Corridor Program covering several fields of cooperation (i.e. transportation infrastructure, industrial sector, border-crossing points development, trade facilitation and customs procedures, energy, environment and ecology, agriculture, education and technology, humanitarian).

The training-workshops aim to build the capacity of East and North-East Asian countries to accelerate the implementation of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor Program in line with sustainable development. To achieve this, the training-workshops focused on both technical and institutional-related areas that would provide the foundations for the initiation of the priority projects. Issues which emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic are also given focus.

The 3rd training-workshop was conducted online on 19-20 January 2021 and focused on cross-border infrastructure financing and institutional arrangements related to economic corridors.

The training-workshop combined self-paced learning and interactive lecture sessions. An online knowledge resource portal was created, housing all learning materials and proceedings from the training-workshop.

The 3rd training-workshop completes the capacity-building activities. Going forward, the engagements and outcomes of the training-workshops provide springboards for follow-up actions and work collaborations in support of strengthening seamless connectivity in East and North-East Asia.
