The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting kicked off in Davos from January 15-19, 2024, bringing together world leaders and stakeholders to rejuvenate globalization and tackle today's most pressing issues. In an exclusive interview for Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun engaged with Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Schwab emphasized the urgent need to rebuild trust in an increasingly fearful and fragmented world. He outlined the WEF's agenda for this year, highlighting initiatives aimed at fostering a more cooperative global spirit. \"As we navigate the complexities of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it's crucial to seize new opportunities in our multipolar world,\" Schwab stated.
Reflecting on the transformative changes since the Chinese mainland's reform and opening-up, Schwab expressed confidence in the nation's ability to overcome future challenges and assume a more responsible role on the global stage. He believes that with sustained innovation and strategic vision, the Chinese mainland will continue to be a pivotal player in shaping international dynamics.
The WEF is committed to driving constructive dialogue and collaboration among nations, ensuring that technological advancements benefit societies worldwide. By fostering partnerships and embracing sustainable practices, the Forum aims to create a resilient and inclusive global economy.
