Standard Chartered strengthens global trade links vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The eight kilometre relay race which held at Teslim Balogun Stadium Surulere, Lagos, was led by eight staff athletes from Standard Chartered Banks across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.
The ‘Belt and Road’ initiative is an ambitious programme by China to connect and strengthen global trade links across the world – in particular between Asia, Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks. It borders along six corridors targeted at improving regional integration, increasing trade and stimulating economic growth. The Relay aims to highlight the Bank’s continued commitment to the ‘Belt and Road’, and the positive impact of the initiative to communities and businesses globally.
“As a key market in the African region, Nigeria has been leading the Belt and Road initiative since its inception” says Leke Ogunlewe, Head Global Banking, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Ltd. “We are excited to host Nigeria’s leg of the first-ever Belt & Road Relay. This initiative strongly aligns with the footprints of the bank with its deep-rooted history across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
“We have a presence in 45 markets along the Belt and Road corridors. This means we are uniquely positioned to demonstrate our rich heritage, deep local knowledge and unparalleled connectivity across our markets. By traversing these markets on foot and engaging local clients, media and communities, this relay continues to reiterate Standard Chartered as the preeminent Belt & Road Bank and our commitment to be here for good,” she added.
