Over 2,600 delegates, including government officials, entrepreneurs
and scholars from over 60 countries and regions, are expected to attend
the 2021 Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) annual conference in person,
authorities said at a press conference Sunday. Approximately 1,200 journalists from 160 media organizations in 18
countries and regions will attend the conference, said BFA Secretary
General Li Baodong at the press conference. Asia is expected to be a major engine for global sustainable recovery
in the fast-changing world, said Li, calling for joint efforts to
overcome the pandemic, narrow the development deficit, increase economic
integration, increase the sharing of experience to advance capacity
building, and push for the building of a community with a shared future
for mankind. The BFA annual conference runs from April 18 to 21 this year in Boao, a coastal town in south China's Hainan Province. The BFA was founded in 2001. It is a non-governmental and non-profit
international organization committed to promoting regional economic
integration and bringing Asian countries closer to their development
goals.
