The meeting is slated for September 19 to 20, with the later date being an investment forum with the key political figures. It will be front lined by Zhou Xiaochuan, the former governor of the People’s Bank of China, who headed the central bank for 16 years until March 2018, according to a programme obtained by the Post.
Over 600 participants are expected to join the forum, which will be held at the Ritz Carlton hotel in West Kowloon. A gala dinner will be held on the 18th to welcome the delegates.
The theme of the two-day closed door forum is the “promotion of global industrial cooperation and sustainable development through cross-border investment,” with four-sub forums also taking places on real assets, healthcare, consumers and industrial, agriculture and foods, according to the programme.
Speakers of the forum include guests from China and overseas, in government, finance and industrial enterprises to discuss opportunities for cross-border investment and industrial cooperation in the post-Covid era.
