桂大使说,瑞典是第一个与新中国建交的西方国家,也是最早与中国签署经贸、科技合作政府间协定的西方国家之一,为中国改革开放和现代化建设作出了积极贡献。中瑞合作关系源远流长,260多年前“哥德堡号”商船远航中国,开启了中瑞海上丝绸之路合作。两国人民有着传统的友好感情,渴望发展中瑞合作关系。建交近70年来,中瑞关系总体保持稳定发展势头,各领域交流合作取得丰硕成果。2018年,中瑞双边贸易额达到171.5亿美元,同比增长15%,创历史新高。中瑞教育、科技、文化交流规模不断扩大。两国政府间建立教育政策对话机制和科技联委会机制,瑞典高校中国留学生现已突破9000人,是5年前的两倍多,中瑞大中小学校、各类科研机构交流与合作蓬勃开展,孔子学院、汉语文化节等人文交流项目及中国优秀文艺团体来瑞演出受到瑞典民众的热烈欢迎。

今年是中华人民共和国成立70周年,明年中国和瑞典建交70周年。纵观两国关系近70年发展史,友好合作始终是中瑞关系的主流,推动双边关系向前发展是两国人民的共同愿望,中瑞深化各领域务实合作具有巨大潜力和广阔前景。你们来自瑞典各行各业、各个机构,因在华学习、工作、创业与中国结缘,是一支推动中瑞友好关系发展的重要力量。你们中间还有许多年轻人,即将赴华留学或工作,更是未来中瑞合作的生力军。中瑞两国关系根基在民众、未来在青年。我衷心希望大家在各自领域充分发挥对华合作的引领作用,为推动两国关系发展不断注入新的活力和动力。希望瑞典中国校友会定期开展像今天这样的联谊活动,为大家开展对华交流合作搭建沟通之桥和机制化平台。让我们共同努力,不断开拓中瑞合作新领域,打造新平台,为促进两国友好合作关系发展贡献更大力量,造福中瑞两国人民。

北欧科萃公司创始人,北欧中国初创论坛主席欢龙介绍了他的公司及论坛,矢志要为中瑞之间的青年交流做出贡献。他说现在项目刚启动一年多就在中瑞九个城市有了项目组。今年还要组织很多活动,年底前要带领一个大团到中国去。

Bonzun AB(口袋孕育)公司创始人、2019瑞典女性创业年度人物Bonnie Roupe 讲述了她在中国创业的经历。她说,她发明了一个关于帮助孕妇的APP,可以用虚拟形式教授孕妇很多有关孕产妇的知识,让妇女少受生孩子的痛苦。她说,她在上海工作四年了,感觉中国的创新意识也是很强的,她觉得她在中国受到了很大鼓舞。她说,作为一个有两个孩子的母亲能够到中国去创业,那么其他的青年也肯定能。她鼓励年轻人到中国去创业。她说她目前在中国有两百万用户,她希望她的APP用户更广泛,惠及更多的妇女。

瑞典创新局国际事务部项目主任Ciro Vasquez表示瑞典创新局非常重视年轻人的创新意识,瑞典的未来能立于不败之地主要依赖于年轻人。因此,他非常高兴看到学生们能够努力通过创新加强中瑞友好关系。

瑞典国际学生和校友会主席Adrian Stymne讲述了瑞典对外交流的历史。最早可以追溯到莎士比亚笔下的王子哈姆雷特,后来有很多国王王子到国外留学访问。在欧盟专门有一个支持青年学生进行国际访问游学的项目,欧盟花了大笔资金支持数百万学生在欧盟国家互访。该项目就是典型的维持和平的项目。因此,中国大使馆能支持这个项目非常好。

闭幕式上,威廉姆表示,通过这个活动他认为每个人都应该回去给自己的圈子传播中瑞之间的友谊,尽最大努力传播中国北欧之间的友谊,成为和平友谊的使者。

使馆教育文化处教育参赞曹叠峰致闭幕词。他向所有参与、支持和组织本次活动的中瑞各界人士表示衷心的感谢。他阐述了发起瑞典中国校友联谊会的初衷和意义,表示以后将继续开展这样的活动。同时,他还向与会人士推介了各类留学中国奖学金项目。

来自瑞典各行各业各个机构的朋友们欢聚在一起。他们中有在中国投资很成功的企业家,也有刚刚起步进入中国市场的新锐; 有在全球拥有一千万用户的2019瑞典女性创业年度人物,也有在中瑞中欧合资企业工作的普通职员; 有早年在中国高校留学今天携手前来的老两口,也有即将结伴而行赴华留学的小伙伴们; 有致力于中瑞教育科技文化交流的杰出学者,也有刚刚起步正在刻苦学习汉语的大学生;有主管对华合作的瑞典政府官员,也有深入研读习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的瑞典高中生。今天,他们因为中国走到一起,讲述他们的中国故事,交流他们的中国体验,似乎有说不完的话,热闹非凡。

科技参赞戴钢,政治新闻处主任陈季良和领事部主任张磊等也出席了使馆举办的首届瑞典中国校友联谊会。

Vinge律师事务所举办欧盟外商投资新规范解读研讨会

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 5月29日下午,斯德哥尔摩Vinge律师事务所专家埃里克.拉格洛夫就将于2020年生效的欧盟外商投资新规范向瑞典的中国企业家们进行了解读。

他说,欧盟发布这个指南的目的是要加强欧盟各国之间的协作。希望通过这个规定能够分享信息。他的好处是如果一国投资,其他国家的有关部门也可以分享到信息。但不好的方面是,一旦发现问题,可能需要投资商提供有关信息,而这个信息可能被所有欧盟国家都能看到。

他说,其实瑞典是一个非常依赖进出口贸易的国家,因此,对欧盟的指南并不感冒,但是,瑞典自己也有权根据自己的实际情况来决定对哪些领域限制或放开。但总的来说,瑞典是非常开放的。

瑞中贸易委员会副主席赵炳浩从企业角度讲述了他对欧盟新规范的看法。他认为欧盟的举措实际上可以保证欧盟的投资质量好一些,可以防止假投资或者洗钱等情况。对于在欧盟已经投资的企业,本规范不适用。但是,如果从2020年10月以后开始投资,就受影响。

本次说明研讨会是由顾群主持的。她说,该指南有利有弊,大家只有真正了解了新规范,才会做出正确的选择。

Ambassador Gui Congyou attends the Second Belt and Road Forum in Stockholm and delivers a key not speech titled Jointly Build a High Quality Belt and Road for a Future of Sustainable Development

STOCKHOLM, May 31,(Greenpost) — Chinese Ambassador Gui Congyou made a key note speech titled Jointly Build a High Quality Belt and Road for a Future of Sustainable Development. The whole text is as the following:

Excellences, experts, scholars and friends from the business community,

Good morning.

Last month, the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was successfully held in Beijing, leading the joint efforts to build a high quality Belt and Road into a new stage. Today’s seminar hosted by the BRIX group is very timely and relevant, and will certainly promote China-Sweden “Belt and Road” cooperation.

Over the past six years since President Xi Jinping proposed the “Belt and Road Initiative”, our BRI circle of friends has grown ever bigger, quality of cooperation ever better and prospects for development ever brighter. Over 150 countries and international organizations signed cooperation agreements with China to build the BRI together. Nearly 40 heads of state and government and nearly 5000 foreign participants from over 150 countries and international organizations attended the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, achieving 283 cooperation outcomes and signing contracts worth over USD 64 billion. These numbers fully demonstrate that the BRI is consistent with the trend of times and meets the need of all parties involved.

The Belt and Road is a road of open cooperation. The BRI is not a geopolitical game, nor is it an exclusive club. Instead, the BRI is based on extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and is committed to multilateralism and open world economy. The Forum in Beijing saw the signing of over 100 bilateral cooperation documents in areas like transportation, trade, technology, culture and exchanges between think tanks, the establishment of a national standards information platform among the Belt and Road partner countries, and the signing of third party market cooperation documents. The BRI is a joint project that combines our respective strengths into a synergy for shared development.

The Belt and Road is a road of sustainable development. The BRI focuses on the fundamental issue of development, and helps countries along the route to break the bottleneck of development. A World Bank study shows that BRI cooperation helps reduce the cost of global trade and increases the global economic growth by at least 0.1%. The BRI pursues high standard cooperation to improve people’s lives and promotes sustainable development. It adopts widely accepted rules and standards, contributes to job creation and poverty reduction, and ensures commercial and fiscal sustainability. It is a major contribution to 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the UN. The BRI is no “debt trap”, rather it helps many countries to get out of the “trap of underdevelopment”.

The Belt and Road is a road of green and clean cooperation. The BRI pursues open, green and clean cooperation and aims to promote green development. The BRI launches green infrastructure projects, makes green investment and provides green financing to improve the ecological environment, and supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In pursuing Belt and Road cooperation, everything should be done in a transparent way, and we must have zero tolerance for corruption and show strong commitment to clean governance. During the second BRI Forum in Beijing, the BRI International Green Development Coalition was established, the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road Development was issued and the Beijing Initiative for Clean Silk Road was launched.

The BRI pursues openness, interconnectivity and consensus through consultation. It values integrity and follows rules. This is especially important in a world of surging protectionism and unilateralism. I know people are closely watching the trade war started by the US. The US brandishes the baton of protectionism and uses administrative means to abuse tariffs, which severely damages the norms of international trade, harms the interests of other parties and increases the uncertainties of global economy. The US also abandoned market principles, in total disregard of international rules, used executive powers to suppress Chinese companies, which we firmly oppose. The US is a “rule breaker” and a “faith breaker”. The US bears full responsibility for the trade war, as it is unilaterally started by the US. China does not want a trade war, but we are not afraid of fighting one, and we will fight to the end. This is safeguarding our legitimate rights and interests, and also defending an open global economy and the multilateral trading system.

Dear friends,

China and Europe are at the two ends of the Belt and Road. Europe is a natural partner and direct beneficiary of building a high quality Belt and Road. China-Europe freight trains have conducted 14,000 trips, connecting China and 50 cities in 15 European countries. The Joint statement of the 21st EU-China Summit reiterated that the two sides will continue to forge synergies between the EU strategy on Connecting Europe and Asia as well as the EU Trans-European Transport Networks and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road cooperation between China and the EU has bright prospects. It is in our mutual interests and will deliver benefits to hundreds of millions of people.

Sweden has good conditions to participate in jointly building the Belt and Road. As a firm advocate for multilateralism and free trade, Sweden has a pioneering spirit and a long line of achievements in green, innovative, open and sustainable development, which is highly compatible to the joint contribution to Belt and Road. Trade between China and Sweden has been hitting new records year after year, reaching USD 17.15 billion in 2018. China is now the largest trading partner of Sweden outside of the EU, and Sweden continues to maintain a trade surplus with China. This March, the first Nordic-China Smart City Cooperation Conference was held in Stockholm, which established a new effective platform for deepening our cooperation. There are also great prospects for China and Sweden to work together to address climate change and to carry out cooperation in third party markets. Joint contribution to the Belt and Road will undoubtedly provide a broader platform for Sweden to play its strength, and open up greater room for its development. The opportunities for China-Sweden Belt and Road cooperation are here. We welcome all sectors of Sweden to join the Belt and Road circle of friends and build a brighter future of sustainable development.

My wishes for a full success of the seminar. Thank you!

Ambassador Gui was interviewed by Gunnar Vagerstam Vice Chairmen for TV for Civil Society and Xuefei Chen Axelsson, Editor and Reporter of Green Post(www.greenpost.se)

Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s Boss, a great entrepreneur

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Huawei’s founder and president Ren Zhengfei is a great entrepreneur who has great vision. Compared with Trump, an entrepreneur President, Ren is greater.

Why? Because Trump house arrested Ren’s daughter. Trump was a businessman and he thinks always in economic terms. He promised he would make America greater. But what he did actually is not very good for America.

Why did America become downward? This was because of the Iraq War. If America was patient a little bit and did not invade Iraq, America would have been a great country. But due to its frequent engagement of war and conflict, it made America cost too much.

In some ways Trump was right because they don’t want to shoulder more responsibilities on the one hand and now it is obvious that he wants to slow down China’s speed of modernisation.

Facing such situation, Ren Zhengfei now faced the media. He said Huawei is in its best time thanks to American government’s pressure because all the staff are working hard now.

Without American pressure, many staff were satisfied with their situation and didn’t work as hard. So it turned out to be a good thing.

Talking about his daughter Meng Wanzhou, he said she was house arrested meaning that she can only stay in her home and her house was surrounded by the guards and she couldn’t go to other places except daily necessities.

Ren said his daughter said that she would use the time to study more and get a PhD in the house arrest situation.

Famous South African late leader Nelson Mandela studied in the prison and got a degree in economics from Great Britain.

It is very interesting to study Huawei. In fact, Huawei was established in Shenzhen, but it quickly developed abroad. From very earlier stage, it began to hire retired people for example from Ericcson, from many other western companies.

It paid greater attention to development in western countries. Thus it developed so well because its management was a good combination of east and western thinking.

Ren pointed out that China must respect teachers and raise more young talented people so that we have more young talented ones to continue to work.

He made it clear that it was the American politicians who put pressure on Huawei, but not the American companies. He stressed that he would love to continue to cooperate with western companies.

Many people think the Trump administration should not take unilateral action and should put the US China trade dispute into the WTO mechanism.

STOCKHOLM, May 29(Greenpost) — Professor Mike Danilovic from Halmstad University in Sweden said at the 2nd Belt and Road Forum in Stockholm that China has been using a holistic way in doing business with Africa and providing assistance in African countries. He mainly talked about the BRI as a business opportunity for Swedish small and medium-size companies.

He vividly described how Chinese companies deal with development issues in Africa.

Jasmine Lihua Liu, Researcher, Halmstad University/Shanghai Dianji University gave a presentation on exploring Chinese Business Culture.

Suci Ariyanti, student of Halmstad University came from Malaysia and was sent to China to study for some time. She tells her experiences in China and Sweden.

The audience gave a lot of questions and the discussion was very good.

辽宁本溪副市长任尊严一行访问世界著名审计公司普华永道瑞典事务所

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 5月26日辽宁本溪市副市长任尊严一行6人访问世界著名审计公司普华永道瑞典事务所,与瑞典有关公司代表进行座谈,并探讨与瑞典进行走出去和请进来的合作模式。

中国驻瑞典大使馆领事部主任张磊、普华永道瑞典事务所中国区总经理赵丽杰、雪人集团欧洲区董事Mike 陈、北欧绿色邮报网总编陈雪霏等热情接待了任尊严副市长一行。

大家首先观看了有关本溪市近年来发展情况的介绍,对本溪市的发展状况有个初步了解后,任尊严副市长又做了详细介绍。他说,本溪是中国著名的工业城市,曾经以“煤铁之都”著称,是重要的钢铁生产基地和原材料工业基地。其生产的钢材供应宝马汽车的生产之用。近年来,本溪又发现更多铁矿的储藏,有待深入开发,同时,本溪也是新兴生物医药产业基地,中药资源丰富,有“药谷”之称。本溪也是一座风景秀丽的旅游胜地,各种地形地势,山水林洞泉湖都有,著名的本溪水洞吸引八方客。本溪有少数民族满族自治县,同时本溪也是枫叶之都。本溪森林覆盖率高达76%,位居辽宁省首位。根据本溪的实际情况,希望在铁矿开发、生物医药和旅游等方面进行请进来或者是走出去方面的合作。

中国驻瑞典大使馆领事部主任张磊对代表团一行的来访表示欢迎。他向代表团成员介绍了中瑞关系的发展情况和瑞典侨界的情况。他说,瑞典是第一个同中国建交的西方国家。明年将是中瑞建交70周年,在这样的日子里,希望中瑞之间能够进一步加强经贸合作。瑞典在很多方面都有高精尖技术和先进的创新理念,值得中国学习,值得本溪学习。双方可以在铁矿石开采方面探讨合作和借鉴。

普华永道瑞典事务所中国区总经理赵丽杰说,非常高兴能有机会接待家乡来客。近年来,她经常到中国南方出差,深深体会到中国的巨大发展和变化,经手了很多关于中瑞之间企业并购与合作的案例。由此也了解了一些企业方面的知识和经验。同时,她也简要介绍了普华永道的业务范围,以及瑞典在公司注册以及税收方面的情况,她认为现在中国企业到瑞典投资从利率和贷款的角度来说都是很好的机会。

雪人集团欧洲区董事Mike陈介绍了他们公司从到瑞典贸易到收购再到生产和营销方面的经验。他认为瑞典的技术水平确实很高,经过并购,其公司在10年间很快成为跨国公司,业内的佼佼者。

陈雪霏总编介绍了瑞典经济的特点之一就是重视中小企业和绿色城市的发展,因为他们把中小企业看作很好的种子,只有有了众多很好的中小企业,才能培育出大企业。很多瑞典的中小企业都非常高精尖。经过这么多年的发展,中国在资金和市场方面优势明显,瑞典在技术和产品方面优势明显,双方可以合作互补。瑞典绿色城市发展经验也非常值得借鉴。同时,作为媒体,她认为,东北,尤其是本溪在发展过程中也应该多注意向外界宣传自己,好让更多合作伙伴能够了解自己的需求和所能提供的资源和服务。与中国南方相比,北方的宣传力度远远不如南方。

代表团成员还有本溪市商务局局长卢炳野、本溪高新区副主任果洪刚、本溪市外办翻译李斌、本溪闽商商会会长兼居然之家总经理李文忠和本溪大台沟铁矿总经理王辉东。 他们表示通过座谈开始对瑞典有所了解,为以后的合作打下基础。这次他们的重点是到德国去签署一些协议。同时,对瑞典进行了访问。经过了解,认为瑞典乃至北欧也可以是一个不错的合作对象。

Big Turnout For Belt & Road Forum In Stockholm

By Hussein Askary

STOCKHOLM,May24(Greenpost)–The 2nd Belt and Road Forum in Stockholm, held on Wednesday, May 22, in the China Cultural Center, was an exceptional event and powerful demonstration of the great interest in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and cooperation with China in Sweden, a country whose political elites and mainstream media are still skeptical and oblivious to the BRI .

The international nature of this full-day event was almost unprecedented in terms of the discussion of the BRI in this country. A sizeable portion of the foreign diplomatic corps in Stockholm turned out to discuss the outcome of the Second Belt and Road Forum for Economic Cooperation (BRF2) which took place in late April in Beijing. 33 diplomats including 13 ambassadors from four continents joined business representatives, academicians as well as one Swedish parliamentarian, a city councilman, and 4 journalists, forming an audience of over 100 persons.

The event was organized by the Belt and Road Executive Group for Sweden (BRIX), in collaboration with the China-Sweden Business Council. Ulf Sandmark, the Chairman of the BRIX, gave the opening speech of the morning session, pointing out that the BRI is not just railways or trade routes but ‘development corridors’. The BRI is definitely not any sinister military logistics system either, he said.  Sandmark emphasized that “the BRI represented an opportunity for Sweden to get back to such fundamentals as respect for sovereignty, science and development of the productive powers of labor”. Joining the BRI could bring the nation of Sweden together again, Sandmark said, stressing that “it is Sweden’s greatest chance to avoid a rapid economic and social collapse”. Sweden can also make great contribution to eliminating poverty and underdevelopment if it brings its excellent industrial and technological capacity to the BRI nations.

The keynote speaker was the Chinese Ambassador to Sweden Mr Gui Congyou who reported about the massive turnout and success of the BRF2 in Beijing and the rapid growth of trade between China, the BRI countries and also Sweden. “The BRI is not a ‘debt trap’”, Ambassador Gui said. “On the contrary, many countries are stepping out of the ‘underdevelopment trap’ by participating in the BRI. Mr. Gui gave a thorough report on the progress of the BRI globally since its announcement by President Xi Jinping in 2013. Concerning Sweden, he stressed that Sweden actually has a surplus in trade against China unlike most other nations, and that this country is leading in many innovative fields of technology and industry that can benefit China and other BRI countries. At the conclusion of his speech, he again invited Sweden to join the BRI: “Building a ‘One Belt, One Road’ will definitely provide Sweden with a bigger stage to play its own advantages and open up more development space.”

Ambassador of Pakistan Mr. Hussain Dayo was next speaker, giving an enthusiastic report of the transformation Pakistan is undergoing thanks to the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, which is in the forefront of the BRI corridors. He then showed a short film on the CPEC showing its progress and impact. A highway is linking China with the Indian Ocean harbor Gwadar, which is expanded from a fishing village to a modern deep seaport. It provides an important backdoor into China and also into the landlocked Central Asia. The roads and railways being built accelerates growth and stability in many regions in Pakistan, especially in the Western parts (Baluchistan Province) close to Afghanistan. The opening of the first coal mines and the construction of first-class coal power plants, have provided much needed power for the export-oriented textile industry.

Ambassador of Portugal, Mr. Henrique Silveira Borges thanked China for standing by his nation in the severe financial crisis 2008. “This we will never forget”, he said and reported about the MOU signed last December when Portugal joined the BRI in the presence of the President of China, Xi Jinping. Portugal has signed agreements to expand its important harbor Sines which will connect the Maritime Silk Road with the Belt of the Euro-Asian rail corridor linking Portugal to China.

A perspective of the attitude in Nordic countries towards the BRI and how it is shaped on the governmental and media level was provided by Thore Vestby, former member of the Norwegian parliament and Co-founder of Ichi Fund. He debunked many of the myths spread in the media in Norway and Sweden. He provided a description of where these come from, not from facts and research, but from a geopolitical mindset in the dominant forces in the West. He explained the great advantages Norway gained from agreeing with China on non-interference in internal affairs, ending the 7-year diplomatic and trade “freeze” China imposed on Norway after the latter awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to a Chinese dissident in 2010.

Hussein Askary, board member of the BRIX, together with Lars Aspling, a member of BRIX and Swedish entrepreneur, took turns to provide the main overview of BRI to the Forum. Aspling started with outlining the historically unprecedented industrialization process that has taken place in China in the past 30 years, without which it is very difficult to understand the BRI and China’s goals behind it. Askary presented the impact of the BRI in Africa´s transformation and joint Chinese – European cooperation projects. “There is a new Africa emerging now, and in the future will be the greatest workshop and market in the world with a 3-billion population in 2050”, Askary emphasized. Europe and Sweden are invited to participated in that great process of the industrialization of Africa, he concluded.

Aspling, concluded the session by reviewing the BRI´s connections to Europe and Sweden, urging the Swedish government to embrace the BRI.

In the intensive but very constructive discussion period, Architect Greger Ahlberg brought the question of beauty as a basis for building a new world in the context of the BRI. Ambassador Gui explained that, while China’s primary goal was to fight poverty, it is keen on preserving the beautiful culture and philosophy it has inherited through the centuries.

Many of the questions were focused on why the Swedish and many European governments are skeptical to the BRI, and how these issues can be resolved by presenting factual information and increased dialog. The last question was posed by moderator Hussein Askary to the Malaysian Ambassador, who was in the audience, to hype in the Western media about the “backlash against the BRI” using Malaysia’s recent renegotiation of some of the infrastructure projects with China as the proof.

The Ambassador, Mrs. Nur Ashikin Mohd Taib, explained in very clear terms that Malaysia maintains very strong economic ties with China and is keen on strengthening them. She informed the audience that many of the key China-Malaysia projects, like the East Coast Railway project, are going ahead. She noted that Malaysia’s Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir ben Mohammed was one of the key guests of the BRF2 in Beijing in April.

Opening the afternoon session, Stephen Brawer, Vice-Chairman of the BRIX, brought into the discussion the importance of culture in a historical sense as a learning method, highlighting the case of Shakespear’s tragedies like Hamlet. He contrasted the recent statements of President Xi in the Conference on Asian Culture’s Dialog of Civilizations to the geopolitical mindset of the British Empire and current American neo-conservative forces. British Geopolitics sabotaged earlier visions of transcontinental land-bridges, leading to WWI. In his presentation “A Community of Shared Future for Mankind – Towards a Dialog of Cultures rather than a Clash of Civilizations”, Brawer pointed to the visions of both G.W. Leibniz and the later representatives of the American Revolution, who were intent on building cultural and physical bridges with China and Asia. He referenced the case of Governor William Gilpin, who envisioned the global transcontinental railway network in the 1880s. This policy in the end of the 19th Century was blocked by WWI orchestrated by the British geopoliticians. The current BRI might follow the same fate unless the current dangerous geopolitical games are stopped and replaced by a true dialog of civilizations.

The last speakers were led by professor Mike Danilovic, from the University of Halmstad and Shanghai Dianji University, speaking about the BRI as a business opportunity for Swedish SMEs, explaining the differences in the mentality and business models between Chinese and Swedish/European companies. He gave the audience an enlightening and entertaining reading derived from his 7 years of work between China and Sweden.

He was followed by researcher Jasmine Lihua Liu, from the same university, speaking about “Exploring Chinese Business Culture” and the kinds of pitfalls that can emerge from lack of understanding of the difference in culture, social customs and national character.

An MBA student from Halmstad University, Suci Ariyanti, gave her perspective, as an Indonesian youth, on the differences she found between Chinese/Asian culture and that of Sweden. She emphasized that we are all one humanity, with clear differences, but universal goals and aspirations.

Another intensive discussion period followed, where the perspective for future actions was laid out. For sure this Forum will raise the question of a Swedish BRI-membership to the boiling point Swedish institutions and media. The BRIX association and partners organized this seminar under the title “The Second Belt & Road Forum in Stockholm”, following up on the May 28th, 2018, Belt & Road seminar organized by the Schiller Institute with other associations.

The BRIX was formed by individuals among the speakers and guests of that 2018 seminar, who all want to promote Sweden’s participation in the Bet and Road Initiative.
