 distinguished heads of state and heads of government, esteemed ministers, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. As head of the World Economic Forum's office in China, it is my honor to welcome you to the 13th annual meeting of new champions in Dalian and to formally open the proceedings. And on behalf of the organizers, let me give you the biggest welcome. In Davos, Switzerland, where we gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by Globalization 4.0. Globalization 4.0 represents the fundamental changes in the global economy that are reshaping companies, countries, and communities at an unprecedented speed and scale. These changes are driven by environmental challenges, regional competition, economic disparities, and technological disruption. These changes require very different forms of leadership and collaboration adapted to this new era. Since the January the global context has become even more volatile, fractured, and unstable. As we enter fully into this fourth wave of globalization, there is a renewed debate over whether it is a beneficial force. Powering economic growth and allowing the spread of ideas to improve people's lives or whether it is a negative force that erodes communities and widens the gap between the elites and the rest of the world. The World Economic Forum engages with the leaders here in this room and around the world who have the vision and the values to shape the future in this new context. As leaders, we need to upgrade our skills in order to succeed in this new multipolar and multi-conceptual context. We need to become more empathetic and more creative. We need to be more open to diverse views and more inclusive towards different concepts for solving problems. Dialogue between civilizations is particularly important. Rebuilding trust isn't easy, but as a friend once told me, yo zhe zhe shi we need to learn from different stakeholders. For example, platform strategies and systems leadership are just two examples of key where there's a will, there's a way. Technological changes propelling the fourth industrial revolution and globalization 4.0 that could be applied to different contexts. I hope this week each of you will be a teacher and a student for leadership 4.0 and that you will take this opportunity to engage in our forum platforms. Your active engagement will be with the World Economic Forum Platforms will shape our future context for the better. I hope during this week and during this forum regarding leadership 4.0 you can be students and you can be teachers. You can engage in forum platforms and so that we can create a bright future together. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome me, join me in welcoming Tang Yijun, Governor of Laoning Province to share his remarks. Distinguished Head of the States and the head of governments, distinguished ministers, dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

From the Alpine mountains of Switzerland to the coast of the Bohai Bay, Davos Forum adheres to a global perspective, seeks cooperation and development. It is not only an important platform to share ideas and wisdom and to disseminate friendship and mutual trust in the international community.

It is very significant for strengthening communications and cooperation, for promoting high quality and sustainable development of the world economy, for shaping a shared future for the mankind. At the recently concluded G20 summit, Xi Jinping made important remarks, clearly stating that China will introduce major measures which will accelerate the pace of forming a new landscape of opening up to the outside of the world and try to realize high quality development. Liaoning as a province by sea, by rivers, and by the borderline in the northeastern part of China will implement and practice Xi Jinping's instructions when he visited this province during a roundtable on further revitalization efforts in the northeastern region of China and we will uphold the flag of opening up even higher. We will take the Belt and Road Initiative as a main thread and we'll take the coastal economic corridor as a main support and the northeastern Asia navigation center of Dalian as a priority and the development of a high caliber free trade pilot zone as an engine and we'll make endeavors to create a business environment featured by internationalization, rule of law, and convenience to set up a comprehensive pilot area of Belt and Road Initiative and China and Central Eastern Europe 17.1 pilot area for economic and trade cooperation and pilot area for northeastern Asia cooperation in trade economy. We will do a solid job in promoting comprehensive opening up and we will not slacken our efforts.
