On 16 April 2018, President Xi Jinping met with Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Klaus Schwab at the Great Hall of the People. Xi Jinping expressed that the cooperation between China and the WEF has almost synchronized with the process of China’s reform and opening up. Both sides should keep up with the times, enhance cooperation, jointly strive to seek new driving forces for the world economic growth, and find out realistic and feasible solutions to address global challenges. Klaus Schwab expressed that President Xi Jinping’s splendid speech at the WEF Annual Meeting last year was unforgettable and widely applauded by the world today. The WEF advocates promoting economic globalization and multilateralism, and opposes protectionism and unilateralism. The WEF is proud of the cooperation with China over the past four decades. It stands ready to reinforce long-term cooperation with China in such aspects as supporting the advancement of the “Belt and Road” construction and promoting innovative development, and make joint efforts to enhance the global governance system and push forward the settlement of global issues.
