The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Davos brought together global leaders to tackle today’s most urgent challenges—from fractured international relations to harnessing the 4th Industrial Revolution. In an exclusive interview with CMG’s Zou Yun, WEF founder Klaus Schwab emphasized the need to 'rebuild trust' in a world he described as increasingly 'fearful and fragmented.'
🔮 Schwab highlighted how emerging technologies could unify nations: 'The 4th Industrial Revolution isn’t just about AI or automation—it’s about creating a new globalization model that benefits everyone.' He praised China’s economic transformation since its reform and opening-up, expressing confidence in its ability to 'navigate future challenges' and play a pivotal role in global cooperation.
💡 With over 2,800 leaders attending—from heads of state to tech innovators—the forum aimed to spark actionable solutions for climate action, equitable AI development, and bridging geopolitical divides. As Schwab put it: 'Trust isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of progress in this multipolar era.'
