Aldia Lai is a powerhouse presence at the 2017 FIATA Headquarters Session in Zurich. Director of Strategic Development at MCI Management Malyasia, Aldia is focused as FIATA World Congress is on tap and readies its grand annual event coming this October 4-8 in Kuala Lumpur. “FIATA will have a major impact this year in Kuala Lumpur because of the end of TPPA. The Ministry of International Trade & Industry formed an Asian version, or GELC, and it remains to be seen how this new development will impact countries. “The GELC effort has been focused mostly in the south Asian region, but with FIATA’s involvement it is expected that global focus will emerge in October.” Belt & Road “One Belt, One Road,” or as
some call it, “The Belt & Road Initiative,” is sure to
be discussed in some depth in KL this October. The Chinese project endeavors
to build an intercontinental infrastructure network between Europe and
China. FIATA Immensely Important “FIATA in Malaysia is immensely
important as a vehicle for Malaysia, bringing an extended menu of initiatives
and programs to world transportation attention,” Aldia said. |

to Asia right now, it will not move until May,” Jens says. Change Is Constant “We all expect change as digitalization
continues to take hold,” Jens said, “the aforementioned block
change technology. New Lyrics, Same Old Song Robert Keen has heard that song before. |
