About 1,500 participants from business, government, civil society, international organizations and academia are to gather in North China's Tianjin for the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC), also known as Summer Davos, after a three-year hiatus of the in-person event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As global attendees on Monday share their excitement of getting together again face-to-face and expectations of the opportunities the forum could bring about, observers stressed the importance of this kind of occasion in providing a platform for political and business leaders to have dialogue and renewing momentum for innovation and entrepreneurship to drive growth and a more equitable, sustainable and resilient global economy.
This year's forum, held from Tuesday to Thursday, can help participants gain a deeper understanding of China's economic performance and high-standard opening-up, and also heralds China's role as an engine of global recovery and growth, and an anchor of economic stability and globalization against the backdrop of looming recession risks and noises calling for "decoupling" and "de-risking."
Chinese Premier Li Qiang will attend the opening ceremony and deliver a keynote speech on Tuesday.
