Chair: TBC
South Sudan's recent moves to halt oil production, and the Chinese intervention to try to broker an oil deal between Juba and Khartoum, have once again drawn attention to the importance of China's role in the Sudans, as well as the role of Indian and Malaysia oil investment.
A year after the historic referendum in favour of South Sudan’s independence, this panel will consider relations between the two new Sudans and their Chinese, Indian and Malaysian allies. It does so at a critical time, amidst ongoing conflict, economic difficulty and tense relations between Sudan and South Sudan, as well as heightened expectations about what China can do to assist a final settlement between Khartoum and Juba.
