The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 wrapped up on Friday in Boao, a coastal town in south China’s Hainan Province. Over the past four days, leaders, experts, and visionaries from more than 60 countries and regions gathered to discuss the future of Asia under the theme “Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future“.
With approximately 2,000 representatives in attendance, the forum delved into four main topics: grasping global trends, promoting sustainable growth, shaping the future, and exploring new driving forces. Participants engaged in vibrant discussions, aiming to foster cooperation and unity across the Asian continent.
Founded in 2001, the BFA is a non-governmental and non-profit international organization dedicated to promoting regional economic integration. By bringing Asian countries closer to their development goals, the forum serves as a platform for collaboration and shared prosperity.
This year’s conference highlighted the importance of working together in a rapidly changing world. As challenges like climate change, technological advancements, and economic disparities continue to impact the region, the BFA emphasized collective solutions and mutual support.
“The future of Asia lies in our hands,” said one delegate. “By uniting our efforts, we can create a better tomorrow for all.”
