This is a high-level international conference that brings together politicians, former heads of government, senior diplomats, business leaders and renowned scholars of different countries to explore the current status and prospects of Sino-US relations in a two-track discussion.
Purpose
The forum coincides with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of US-China diplomatic relations and follows the recent G20 summit where a consensus for continued negotiation was reached by US and Chinese leaders on June 29, 2019.
This high-level, non-governmental exchange strives to promote US-China relations by looking for ways to meet the current challenges and be a driving force for future cooperation and stability.
The forum will bring together the wisdom and strength of the international community and allow many voices converge on the critical issues of multilateralism, free trade, and long-term global economic growth.
Themes
The forum is a free and open dialogue. It focuses on the issues of economic and trade relations, intellectual property rights, multilateral and liberalized trade, open markets and global governance, as well as the prospects and future development of Sino-US relations.
