The World Economic Development Declaration Conference is scheduled to be held

Chinese and foreign top leaders, representatives from international
organizations, Nobel Prize winners and some 1,000 presidents of transnational
companies will address the conference, which is co-sponsored by some 40
government departments and organizations.
With theme of "equality, credibility, cooperation and development", the
conference will help promote the opening up of China to the outside world, said
Cheng Siwei, president of the conference organizing committee.
Cheng, also vice chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National
People's Congress, noted that the Zhuhai Declaration on world economic
development, jointly drafted by Nobel laureates and Chinese economists, would be
released at the conference.
The Zhuhai Declaration would stress the interdependence of world economies,
the important role of science and technology, and sustainable development.
Cheng noted it was the first time China has sponsored such a declaration,
indicating China's sincere participation in economic globalization.
Besides the Zhuhai Declaration, several specialized forums will be held
during the two-day conference, said Cheng.
