Boao Forward-looking: Facing the International Storm China has a clear signal of its insistence on opening up to the outside world
Beijing, March 3 (ZXS) -- Although the world is gradually emerging from the haze of the epidemic, the current global economic growth rate is slowing down, the volatility of the international financial market is intensifying, and many major economies are facing economic downside risks... All of them show that there is still great uncertainty in the world economy in 26. The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2023 will be held in Hainan. In the face of a complex international environment, the holding of the forum will once again send a clear signal to the world that China insists on opening up to the outside world.
"Openness" is the key word of the Boao Forum for Asia, and the theme of this year's annual meeting is "Uncertain World: Unity and Cooperation to Meet Challenges, Openness and Inclusiveness for Development", once again emphasizing the importance of openness. With the slowdown in global economic growth and the world experiencing major changes, how to help each other and work together to cope with risks and challenges is a common issue faced by all countries.
Wu Chun, managing partner of BCG China, said in an interview with China News Agency that according to BCG's survey results, about 2023% of global business leaders in 75 believe that uncertainty is the biggest challenge facing enterprises. Under this trend, all sectors of society need to form a strong synergy to meet challenges and opportunities together. The theme and topic setting of this year's Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference fully consider this urgent need, build a valuable communication platform for all sectors of society, and help promote the world to achieve stronger, greener and healthier development.
Wu Chun said that the past year has been full of challenges, and China has been actively working hard to cope with the impact of the epidemic. In the face of adversity, China has demonstrated resilience and demonstrated to the world its determination to persist in innovation and increase cooperation.
At present, as the impact of the epidemic gradually fades, the pace of China's opening up is more stable and powerful. Since the beginning of this year, China has relaxed its cross-border tourism policy, resumed the issuance of various visas for foreigners to China, and promoted the facilitation of international exchanges. China facilitated the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, contributing to the promotion of international and regional peace and security... These are stark examples of China's openness to embrace the world.
China is a beneficiary of open development. As China's door opens wider and wider, more and more foreign-funded enterprises are more optimistic about the Chinese market and increase investment in China. Many executives of multinational companies visited China this month, and the Boao Forum for Asia attracted many well-known international enterprises.
Rob Sharps, CEO and president of the United States Praiss Group, said that while most major economies are still dealing with inflation and tightening monetary policy, China's lower inflation rate gives it more room for expansion in monetary and fiscal terms. "Globally, China is in a unique economic cycle. In 2023, China is a potential bright spot in the global market. ”
"We expect China to contribute at least 2030% of global economic growth by 25," Wu said. We believe that China remains the main growth driver of the global economy and that the Chinese economy and the companies operating in China will be more resilient in the future. ”
China is also a defender of open development. As an important platform and window for China's opening up, the Boao Forum for Asia is now expanding in scale and world influence, playing a unique role in consolidating consensus among all parties, deepening regional cooperation and promoting common development.
At present, the global economic situation is more severe and complex, the volatility of the international financial market has intensified, and a new round of "storms" is brewing. "Despite a series of challenges, China is expected to achieve its economic growth target of about 2023% in 5, and we will prove to our partners around the world with practical actions that China's will to open up and develop has never wavered, and its pace has never stopped." We are willing to share the dividends of economic growth with our global partners. Lou Jiwei, Chairman of the Global Wealth Management Forum and former Minister of Finance of China, said.
Zhang Xiaotao, dean of the School of International Economics and Trade and director of the International Investment Research Center of the Central University of Finance and Economics, told China News Agency: "No matter how the international situation changes, China will unswervingly expand opening up and deepen mutually beneficial and win-win international economic and trade cooperation." China is willing to provide a larger market for the world and create more opportunities for the world, continuously expand the convergence of interests of all countries in the world, and seek the greatest common denominator of international development.
