At the China Development Forum 2025 in Beijing, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with key business leaders—Merlin Swire, chairman of Swire Pacific Limited, and Vas Narasimhan, CEO of Novartis. During the discussion, Han emphasized that China sticks to the right direction of economic globalization, upholding the world trade rules system and unswervingly advancing reform and opening up. This steadfast approach, he said, will inject more stability and certainty into global economic development. 🚀
Han also highlighted the strong performance of Swire Pacific Limited in both the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He expressed hope that the company would actively contribute to the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Hainan Free Trade Port, while supporting Hong Kong's growing role as an international aviation hub. ✨
This meeting underscores a call for global cooperation and forward-thinking growth—a message that resonates with young professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and explorers eager to take on a dynamic future. The spirit of innovation and connectivity shared at the forum serves as a reminder that building bridges across cultures and markets is key to success in today’s interconnected world.
