DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The 2025 World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting commenced on Monday in Davos, Switzerland, calling for global cooperation amid global uncertainty.

Themed "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age," the five-day event will bring together nearly 3,000 participants from various regions and industries to discuss issues across five pivotal areas: Reimagining Growth, Industries in the Intelligent Age, Investing in People, Safeguarding the Planet, and Rebuilding Trust.

"Despite divergent positions and great uncertainties, the Annual Meeting 2025 will foster a spirit of cooperation and constructive optimism with the objective of shaping the forthcoming Intelligent age in a more sustainable and inclusive way," said Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the Board of Trustees of the WEF.

Borge Brende, president and CEO of the WEF, underscored the pressing need for collaborative action, saying the annual meeting "comes at a moment marked by a greater level of global uncertainty than we have seen in a generation, driven by geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation and accelerating climate change."

"Within this more unsettled climate, the only way to address urgent challenges and unlock new opportunities is through innovative, cooperative approaches," he added. Enditem
