Next Year's Davos Forum to Be Held in Switzerland in January

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] The World Economic Forum (WEF) announced that its annual meeting, known as the 'Davos Forum,' will be held in Davos, Switzerland from January 17 to 21 next year.

According to Bloomberg and other sources on the 16th (local time), next year's Davos Forum will be held in person, not virtually, under the theme of 'Cooperation, Restoring Trust.'

In a statement, WEF explained, "This event will serve as a platform to foster cooperation among diverse stakeholders and bring together progressive leaders to address the world's most urgent economic, political, and social challenges."

Originally, WEF planned to hold its annual January meeting in the Swiss ski resort town of Davos, but due to the impact of COVID-19, it was scheduled to be held in Singapore in August this year before ultimately being canceled.

WEF stated that it is working closely with Swiss authorities and health experts in relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Klaus Schwab, founder of WEF, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about widespread changes," adding, "In a world full of uncertainty and tension, this meeting is more important than ever."
