In April, the Boao Forum for Asia successfully held its annual conference in Hainan province after last year's conference was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
With the theme "A World in Change: Join Hands to Strengthen Global Governance and Advance Belt and Road Initiative Cooperation", this year's conference emphasized the formation of Hainan's free trade port, the reform of the World Trade Organization, measures to ensure global food security, and strategies to boost the development of small businesses and strengthen trade ties amid the pandemic.
