The three-day forum, which started Monday, focuses on three key issues this year: exploring the root source of global economic uncertainty, seeking reform and transformation and Asia's sustainable development.

The forum will host discussions on a wide range of topics, including the euro zone debt crises, employment and growth, the reform of the international monetary system and the strategic breakthrough of Asian manufacturing.

A non-governmental and non-profit international organization founded in 2001, Boao Forum for Asia has been committed to promoting regional economic integration and bringing Asian countries closer to their development goals.
