Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to shed light on China's role in the evolving global geopolitical structure at the upcoming annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Klaus Schwab, founder and Executive Chairman of the Geneva-based international organization, said on Tuesday.
Schwab told a press conference that Xi would deliver the opening address of the annual event, which this year has attracted more than 3,000 global leaders from politics, business, the media and academia. It will run from January 17-20.
"President Xi's participation is quite relevant to the theme of the forum, which is Responsive and Responsible Leadership," said Schwab, who recalled that the WEF has enjoyed a very close relationship with China since 1979 when he first visited the country.
