20th International Conference on The Future of Asia

Thursday May 22 andFriday May 23, 2014

20th International Conference on The Future of Asia | Rising Asia - Messages for the Next 20 Years

The International Conference on The Future of Asia is a forum that each year brings together political leaders, including many heads of governments, and top business executives to discuss the future of Asia-Pacific nations and how development in the region stands to impact the global economy. Since its inauguration in 1995, The Future of Asia has come to be recognized as one of the foremost international conferences in Asia.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the International Conference on The Future of Asia. During the past two decades, the region has overcome many hurdles and has emerged not only as the center of growth for the global economy, but also as the front runner for regional economic partnerships. As the organizer of the event, we believe that the Conference, with the support and understanding of all those involved, has played its humble role in making this possible.
As we look ahead to the next 20 years, how should nations in the Asia-Pacific region cooperate to tackle the various challenges that still exist and what concrete steps should be taken collectively to achieve long-lasting prosperity? In the 20th International Conference on The Future of Asia, we will discuss the path forward with the hope of sending out messages that will inspire the region's leaders of the future.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of 
the International Conferenceon The Future of Asia.
