“I am honoured to serve as the VIAC Ambassador for China. As a bridge between East and West, VIAC combines a neutral, arbitration-friendly seat in the heart of Europe with efficient case management and the flexible Vienna Rules — qualities that resonate strongly with Chinese businesses expanding into Europe. As China-related investment and post-investment disputes continue to grow, I look forward to strengthening exchanges between the Chinese arbitration community and VIAC, and to promoting Vienna as a trusted seat for China-related disputes across the CEE region and beyond.”
