Global Gateway vs. Belt and Road: Europe's infrastructure vision

In this Bruegel podcast, host Yuyun Zhan discusses this with Alicia García-Herrero and Romana Vlahutin. They explore the initiative’s origins, progresses and challenges, and how Europe can sharpen its strategy to balance development goals with economic interests.
