THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: What opportunities are there in China's Belt and Road Initiative for your business? And what would be the risks and pitfalls to be mindful of?

Ross McCullough President UPS Asia Pacific

UPS supports initiatives that extend the benefits of trade and globalisation. OBOR will improve infrastructure and cooperation throughout highly landlocked countries, reducing transportation costs and transit times between countless businesses and communities. Direct cargo trains connecting China and Europe are a key component of the overland portion of the OBOR initiative. UPS recently expanded our China-Europe multi-modal rail service to give customers more shipping options to reduce supply chain costs.
