About this webinar
The shift of economic weight toward Asia is not a story of winners and losers. It is a story of new connections: between Africa's minerals and Asia's factories, between Gulf capital and Asian growth, between Europe's green transition and Asia's supply chains. The Global Youth Dialogue brings together young diplomats, policymakers and professionals from the Global Diplomatic Forum network to explore where their regions' interests converge, and how they can build on them.
Each dialogue pairs two regions and takes place about a week after a related webinar. A GDF Senior Fellow guides a panel of four young leaders, two from each region, followed by open discussion with members.
