The New Silk Arcs: Linking Oceans, Markets, and the Global South

As the Indo-Pacific emerges as the fulcrum of global trade and geopolitics, its linkages with the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and African regions are deepening. Indonesia and India, alongside key regional players, are driving a political-economic shift through strategic corridors that connect Asia to Africa and Latin America, with hubs like the UAE playing a central role. Initiatives like IMEC, Global Gateway, and ASEAN-Africa bridges signal a new era of cross-regional integration built on resilient infrastructure, supply chains, and financial cooperation. This panel will explore how plurilateral partnerships, maritime routes, and digital public infrastructure can rewire global connectivity and reposition the Global South.

How are new strategic corridors and cross-regional partnerships (IMEC, Global Gateway, ASEAN-Africa bridges) shifting the balance of economic and political power across the Indo-Pacific, Mediterranean, and Atlantic?
How are countries using strategic autonomy and corridor diplomacy to redefine their roles across the Indo-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America?
In what ways are Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security now intertwined through connectivity, and how should regional actors coordinate to prevent disruptions and manage crises?
In a world of overlapping initiatives and shifting political alliances, who is shaping the direction of the next-generation trade flows, economic corridors, and critical infrastructure, and what role will the Global South play in diversifying and rebalancing global trade routes?
