Davos forum to take up initiative

The World Economic Forum will hold special discussions on how to implement the Belt and Road Initiative in the best ways to leverage global market forces.

The organization plans to include discussions on how to further strengthen cooperation and support the initiative in its annual meetings in Davos, Switzerland, and the annual meetings of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos Forum, said David Aikman, the group's chief representative officer for China.

"We'll help act as a catalyst to develop the initiative into a truly open, inclusive and forward-looking cooperation platform that the region and the world need now," he said.
