The 2022 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia with the theme of "epidemic situation and the world: jointly promoting global development and building a common future" is scheduled to be held in Boao Town, Hainan Province from April 20 to 22. The annual meeting of this forum will focus on issues such as post epidemic world economic recovery and sustainable development, which are most concerned by the international community, carry out dialogue and exchanges, pool consensus, contribute wisdom, and strive to plan the future development mode and direction for the world at a crossroads. At present, the century changing situation and the century epidemic situation are intertwined and superimposed, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change. This annual meeting of the forum will not only explore good ways to bridge differences, but also provide a new blueprint for global governance for the future sustainable development of the world. Li Baodong, Secretary General of the Boao Forum for Asia, said that in order to prepare for the annual meeting, the forum solicited the opinions and suggestions of the sponsors, directors, advisory committees, members, partners, academia, media and other relevant parties. "Unity", "trust", "cooperation" and "development" have become the common expectations of all parties concerned. The three-day forum will hold more than 30 sub forums and activities. The topic discussion will focus on six aspects, echoing the concerns and demands of all parties concerned. The first is epidemic prevention and control. At present, the epidemic situation is still fluctuating all over the world. Factors such as uneven vaccine distribution and continuous virus variation have greatly hindered the pace of epidemic prevention and control. The annual meeting of this forum will further summarize the experience of global anti epidemic and explore how to narrow the "immunization gap". The second is the world economy. The world economy as a whole has maintained the momentum of recovery, but the recovery of various economies is very uneven. As a forum focusing on economic issues, this annual meeting of the forum will, as always, discuss the global economic trend, industrial chain, inflation and a series of related issues. The third is green recovery and sustainable development. After the epidemic of the century, countries and regions generally pay more attention to green, innovation and sustainable development, and actively promote the green and low-carbon transformation of economic structure. On the basis of existing consensus, this annual forum will focus more on the paths and methods to achieve carbon neutrality and explore how to promote inclusive development of all countries and the world. The fourth is digital economy. At present, the digital economy is booming, bringing new opportunities for the recovery of the world economy after the epidemic. In the context of globalization, how to strengthen the coordination of digital economy policies, further promote the development of digital economy, maintain fair competition and protect personal information security will become the focus of this forum's annual meeting. Fifth, in terms of international cooperation and global governance, the annual meeting of the forum will, as always, call for support for multilateralism and international cooperation, actively promote global governance and promote cooperative, inclusive, innovative and green development. The sixth is the new development of regional and global cooperation in Asia. At the beginning of this year, the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (RCEP) came into force. The annual meeting of this forum will further explore how to make good use of the opportunities brought by RCEP and how to continue to deepen Asia Pacific regional cooperation.
