This year's annual meeting is to be held on April 8-11 under the theme "An Open and Innovative Asia for a World of Greater Prosperity". It will highlight reform, opening up and innovation. Speaking at a media briefing, Wang said the BFA had become "an important bridge connecting China with the rest of the world" that is "distinctively Asian, while also visible globally."
Wang added that the forum would showcase China's progress in reform and opening up, and the over 2,000 attendees will "hear a series of new opening-up measures that China will take" and a vision for the future.
