 "India at WEF 2022: Day-wise itinerary of Indian representation at Davos")
The World Economic Forum (WEF) returns for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland from May 22 to 26.
"Under the theme, 'working Together, restoring Trust', the Annual Meeting 2022 will be the first global in-person leadership event since the start of the pandemic," the WEF said in a statement published on its website.
The meeting will give the world leaders an opportunity to take stock of the state of the world and shape partnerships and policies for the crucial period ahead, the WEF said. Due to the outbreak of Omicron variant, the WEF deferred its 2022 annual meeting, which was originally scheduled for January 17-21.
The theme of the WEF Annual Meeting 2022 will be "Working Together, Restoring Trust", said the Geneva-based organisation.
Topics on the agenda will include the following:
- Pandemic recovery
- Tackling climate change
- Building a better future for work
- Accelerating stakeholder capitalism
- Harnessing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will attend the event alongwith Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, his Karnataka counterpart Basavaraj S Bommai as well as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
