The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) is holding its annual conference from April 18 to 21 in Boao, a coastal town in China's southernmost province of Hainan.
In an increasingly complex world where economic globalization faces headwinds with a threat looming over multilateralism and free trade, where is humanity headed and what is the future of Asia?
Chinese President Xi Jinping answered these "fundamental questions of our time" at the annual conference of Boao Forum for Asia (BAF) in 2018, vowing to open China further and calling for building a community with a shared future for humanity.
