Boao Forum to Make Full Return as In-Person Event

What’s new: China will host the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) annual conference from March 28 to March 31 in the town of Boao on South China’s island province of Hainan, the first time the event will be held fully in-person since the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020.

Known as the “Asian Davos” for its resemblance to the World Economic Forum, the BFA will bring together delegates from governments, businesses and academia to discuss deepening international cooperation in the post-Covid era, under the theme: An Uncertain World: Solidarity and Cooperation for Development Amid Challenges.
