The notion of a shared future, for the Asian region, was first used at the Boao Forum in 2015. It has been re-echoed since, in speeches Xi Jinping used at the National People's Congress this year, and at the Davos World Economic Forum in early 2017.
Pakistan is among 26 founding countries of the Boao Forum for Asia, established in 2001. The name Boao comes from a small town of fishermen in Hainan province in southern China.
Hainan province is increasingly working to hasten agricultural supply side structural reforms, speed up the development of the sector's modernization and strengthen tropical agriculture.
The 62-year-old farmer, Lin Minghuan, says he felt he was in an abyss after seeing typhoon Rammasun ruin all his crops in minutes in Wenchang on the eastern coastal Hainan island on July 18, 2014.
Hainan province will organize eight theme activities centered on the keynotes of reform and opening up and including its achievements in the past 30 years during the 2018 Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference to be held at Boao town in Hainan from April 8 to 11.
Hainan province, which is the country's only provincial-level special economic zone, will accelerate the building of an open economy, advance international industrial cooperation and enhance the development of service businesses as a national pilot zone, according to local senior officials.
The upcoming Boao Forum for Asia annual conference will be a platform for global political and business leaders to share insights on China's economic opening up, the Belt and Road Initiative and fostering innovation.
