The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a landmark global development strategy with far-reaching regional and international significance.

The publication also includes forewords by Paul Yuen, General Counsel of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and Ho Meng Kit, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Business Federation.

This book brings together contributions from leading legal academics and industry professionals with expertise in international law, trade, arbitration, infrastructure, finance, construction, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The contributors include university professors, judges, senior counsel, practising lawyers, financial experts, and corporate advisers from renowned institutions and organisations across Singapore and internationally.
