The international forum was inaugurated by HH Chinese President Xi Jinping, with representatives from over one hundred countries, including 29 heads of state or government. International organizations will also be represented, with UN Secretary General António Guterres, President of the World Bank Jim Yong Kim, and Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde all set to attend.
