China will host four major international events in 2018, including the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in April, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in June, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit in September, and the First China International Import Expo in November, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday.
He made the remarks at a press conference in Beijing on the sidelines of the first session of the 13th National People's Congress, answering questions on China's foreign policy and external relations.
The four events will focus on the themes of China's reform and opening up, the Shanghai Spirit, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the further opening-up of the Chinese market, Wang noted.
