On Monday, Hong Kong officially opened one of the biggest financial forums in Asia, with the main agenda to discuss the region’s growing role in the global economy.
Taking “Asia: Reshaping the Global Agenda” as its theme, the two-day 2011 Asian Financial Forum will feature dozens of influential business, finance and government leaders as the event’s speakers, including United Kingdom Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs William Hague, former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress Cheng Siwei, and 1999 Nobel Prize laureate in Economics Robert Mundell.
In his opening remarks, Hong Kong 's chief executive Donald Tsang said he hoped the forum to be an ideal platform for businesspeople and policy makers in the region to learn about the world’s economic changes and its effects on Asian countries.
Held annually since 2007 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the forum has continuously attracted the world’s influential leaders in business, finance and government.
This year, the event has successfully attracted more than 1,500 participants from 31 countries and regions.
