Description: This expert-level meeting, titled “Migration and Development in the Silk Routes Region”, focused on how to maximise the development benefits of migration from the perspective of the Silk Routes countries. More specifically, the meeting focused on how the Silk Routes countries factor labour migration aspects into the development planning of their countries and how its economic and social impact can be assessed. The topic was dealt with against the background of the special challenges related to large migration movements within and from the region. Both state and non-state actors of relevance for these discussions were engaged.
