"One area of interest is to look at how the Belt and Road Initiative would bring new energy to Asia, with a special focus on the economic cooperation between China and Russia. I also pay attention to high-level meetings among the many presidents that convene at the forum."
"I've been a reporter for over 10 years and have attended a number of international conferences. To be honest, everything here at the forum is so organized and smooth. Volunteers are much more helpful than I had expected. What impressed me the most is how fast the WiFi connection is. I really appreciate people who have put an effort in this."
