BOAO, Hainan - The 2013 Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) will focus on "restructuring" in a more sustainable and innovative way, BFA Secretary-General Zhou Wenzhong said on Friday.

Under the theme of "Asia Seeking Development for All: Restructuring, Responsibility and Cooperation," this year's forum concentrates on topics relating to "restructuring" as economists from home and abroad have been invited to discuss China's reform in the past three decades, as well as in the next 10 to 15 years.

"The forum provides a platform for high-level leaders from government, business and academic circles to discuss pressing global and regional issues in Asia," Zhou said.

He said the forum is intended to promote the Asian tradition of seeking win-win results, as well as help regional economies look for common ground, transcend differences and pursue common development.

More than 10 state and government leaders from Asia and other regions have been invited to the three-day forum, which will be held from April 6 to April 8 in Boao, a coastal town in South China's Hainan province, and will be attended by 1,477 representatives from 43 countries and regions.

A report published by the BFA research body said both large economies and export-driven smaller ones in Asia face a gloomy growth prospect in 2013.

It estimated that Asia's economic growth rate will reach six percent this year.
