Iran partakes in Boao Forum for Asia

TEHRAN, April 11 (MNA) – The two-day annual Boao Forum for Asia started its work in Hainan Province, China on Saturday.

Introducing global capacities in the economic sector, especially in Asia, is an objective of this forum.

Boao Forum for Asia (BFA), is a non-governmental, nonprofit international organization modeled after the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

BFA is a prestigious forum for leaders in government, business and academia in Asia and other continents to share visions on the most pressing issues in this dynamic region and the world at large.

The Forum is committed to promoting regional economic integration and bringing Asian countries even closer to their development goals.

BFA Annual Conference 2010 at Boao is under the theme of “Green Recovery: Asia’s Realistic Choice for Sustainable Growth.”

Asia has come to a crucial stage in the transformation and restructuring of its economies. It is leading the world out of the worst-ever economic crisis since the 1930s, but still confronted with the challenging task of finding a green and sustainable development path.

The Annual Conference 2010 is designed to bring the best minds and thoughts of leaders together to focus on this great challenge.

BFA was founded by 26 Australasian states on 27 February 2001. Iran is one of the founding members of this economic conference.

The organization held its first meeting from April 12-13, 2002. It has its fixed address in Boao, Hainan, China, although the Secretariat is based in Beijing.

The BFA holds a high-level annual forum for government, business, experts, and scholars at Boao, with the focus of discussion on economics, integration, cooperation, society, and environment.

In addition to its annual meeting, the BFA also sponsors other forums and meetings related to Asian issues.

The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2008 was held on April 10-13, 2008. It was attended by heads of government from countries including Australia, Pakistan, Norway, and Kazakhstan.

An Iranian delegation led by Economy and Finance Minister Shamseddin Hosseini entered China on Thursday to take part in the conference.
