At the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026, former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo delivered a rallying cry against zero-sum politics, calling global cooperation the ultimate 'antidote' to escalating tensions. 🔑 'If China and Southeast Asia maintain peace for another two decades, the economic and cultural transformation will redefine our century,' Yeo declared to a packed audience in Hainan.
This year's forum, themed around collaborative growth, highlighted tech innovation partnerships and green energy initiatives across Asia-Pacific economies. 🌱 Yeo emphasized that 'walls don’t build prosperity,' urging young entrepreneurs and policymakers to prioritize cross-border dialogue. With over 2,000 delegates attending—including rising startups and climate activists—the event has become Gen Z’s go-to stage for shaping tomorrow’s solutions. 💡
