Overview
The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 will be held in Hainan, China under the theme "Asia In The Changing World: Towards A Shared Future."
As the flagship event for BFA, the conference takes place each spring in the tranquil town of Boao, bringing together over 2,000 leaders, including leaders of state and government, heads of international institutions, ministers, CEOs, economists, editors, and journalists. This four-day event serves as an extensive and intensive forum for brainstorming on regional and global affairs.
The future of the world is closely linked to Asia’s development, which has the potential to make significant contributions to global peace and shared progress. However, Asia itself also faces considerable challenges in its development. To effectively address these issues, this event convenes the international community to rebuild trust and solidarity and respond to our common challenges.
We will participate in a panel discussion focused on maintaining global supply chain stability.
