China Development Forum 2019: "Greater Opening-up and Win-win Cooperation”

Recently, the Secretariat of the China Development Forum released its theme for China Development Forum (CDF) 2019, which was "Greater Opening-up for Win-Win Cooperation".


Hosted by the Development Research Centre of the State Council and organized by China Development Research Foundation, CDF is committed to its mission to “Engaging with the World for Common Prosperity”. It is an annual conference held at the weekend right after the conclusion of the “Two Sessions”, namely those of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).


This year, the 20th CDF will be held in Beijing from March 23 to 25. The CDF will open on March 24, and the Economic Summit of the CDF will be held on March 23.



According to Lu Mai, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the CDRF and Secretary General of the CDF, the world is presently facing unprecedented changes; international political and economic landscape is undergoing profound adjustments; uncertainties abound in the global economy; the downward pressure on the economy is tremendous.


However, the fundamental situation that China is still and will long remain in an important period of strategic opportunity for development has not changed; peace and development remain the theme of our time.


The key question we need to address is how to turn challenges into opportunities, and risks into predicables through deepening reform as well as comprehensive and high quality opening-up.

“After four decades of widening opening-up and deepening domestic reform, China has made great progress and significant contributions to the world’s peace and development.Open, innovative, coordinated, green and shared developments are the five pillars of China’s new development philosophy.


Greater opening-up for win-win cooperation has become the value, the means and the lifeblood of China’s development in the new era, and the pathway to build a community of shared future for mankind”, Lu Mai said.
