The World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2024 commenced in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, bringing together more than 2,800 representatives from over 120 countries and regions.

In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG), Schwab highlighted the meeting's role as a unique platform for global stakeholders to share ideas and collaborate on solutions to the world's most pressing challenges.

As the world continues to grapple with complex issues that require collective action, the role of the forum in facilitating such cooperation becomes increasingly crucial, the founder said.
