The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 is set to ignite fresh international dialogue as it convenes leaders and ambitious youth from a wide spectrum of nations. Held from March 25 to 28 in Boao, south China’s Hainan Province, the event embraces the theme "Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future," emphasizing development, innovative dialogue, and tangible outcomes to promote international cooperation.
A compelling video presentation features international students from Malaysia, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Vietnam sharing their intercultural exchange experiences. Vietnamese student Do Pham Ngoc Die recalled her memorable participation in the "Global Village" activity at Tsinghua University, where students donned distinctive costumes and celebrated their cultures through music, food, and art. Her account underscores how cross-cultural communication helps break down barriers, deepens mutual understanding, and builds a stronger collective identity.
This vibrant cultural exchange not only mirrors evolving trends in global cooperation but also empowers young global citizens, tech enthusiasts, thought leaders, and digital nomads with fresh perspectives. As these dynamic voices come together, they pave the way for a more united and sustainable future across Asia, where creativity and open dialogue are the cornerstones of progress.
