Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih will address the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore on Wednesday, with policy makers and business leaders set to discuss issues ranging from trade and capital flows to climate change, energy security and war.
Han’s opening remarks will come days before U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping for key talks on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco, and may presage China’s stance as both sides seek to improve frayed ties.
