Forum to highlight new growth model
International political leaders and business executives will gather in Hainan, South China, starting on Thursday to share views on economic development and regional cooperation in Asia.
The event will be an important platform for Chinese leaders to explain their development goals and plans to the world, as the country shifts to a new economic model characterized by a slower pace of growth but one of higher quality.
The four-day 2015 Boao Forum for Asia, which will be held in the scenic town in Hainan province with the theme of "Asia's New Future: Toward a Community of Common Destiny", is the first top-level multilateral forum in China after the annual sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held earlier this month.
