Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang is set to take center stage at the Boao Forum for Asia 2025, one of the continent’s most influential economic gatherings. The forum’s annual conference, held in Hainan from March 26–29, will feature Ding delivering a keynote speech at the opening plenary on March 27. The announcement, made by China’s Foreign Ministry on Monday, highlights the forum’s role as a platform for advancing regional cooperation and global development dialogue.
Why this matters: The Boao Forum – sometimes dubbed Asia’s 'Davos' – brings together leaders from governments, businesses, and academia to tackle pressing issues like sustainable growth, tech innovation, and cross-border collaboration. Ding’s participation signals China’s continued focus on fostering multilateral ties, particularly in green energy, digital economies, and inclusive trade frameworks. With over 2,000 attendees expected, the event could spark new partnerships shaping Asia’s economic future.
