Just days after the conclusion of the Two Sessions, the China Development Forum began in Beijing. Themed “China in the New Five-Year Plan”, the Economic Summit gathered experts from top institutions and think tanks around the world as well as enterprise executives.

This year marks the first of China’s 13th-Five-Year-Plan period, and is also a crucial stage for the country to promote structural reforms, especially reforms on the supply side.

These issues will be key focuses of the forum, which serves as an important platform for the Chinese government to carry out exchanges with global business elites, leaders of international organizations, as well as renowned scholars both at home and abroad.
