During an interview with Xinhua News Agency in Geneva, Switzerland, Borg Brend, President of the World Economic Forum, stated that China remains the largest contributor to global economic growth. On January 14th, at the headquarters of the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Switzerland, Borg Brende, President of the World Economic Forum, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency. Xinhua News Agency reporter Lian Yi photographed Brund, saying that China continues to make efforts in traditional advantageous fields while actively entering emerging technology fields. The World Economic Forum predicts that China's economic growth rate this year will be above 5%. Brund said that China is witnessing accelerated growth in cutting-edge technology fields and is doubling its investment in new technology research and innovation. These new technologies are expected to bring tremendous productivity improvements and growth opportunities in the coming years, "said Brender, who said that China is an important driver of this process. When it comes to the challenges facing the global economy, Brender said that despite being affected by complex geopolitics and individual countries' excessive tariffs, the global economy still demonstrates resilience to some extent. He believes that trade used to be a growth engine, but it is still important today, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence are also generating significant investment and driving global economic growth. Brender said, "The most worrying thing at present is that the escalation of geopolitical tensions may stifle global economic growth." He believes that if the world can avoid the escalation of geopolitical tensions, the global economic growth rate is expected to remain above 3% in 2026. The "Global Cooperation Barometer" report recently released by the World Economic Forum points out that multilateralism continues to face strong headwinds, and the structure and situation of global cooperation are undergoing changes. Brund affirmed China's role in upholding multilateralism. He emphasized that in the future, we still need to rely on multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations to address global challenges such as the pandemic and cybercrime. Brender believes that it is very important to maintain and develop the existing multilateral mechanisms, which have brought tremendous prosperity to the world since the end of World War II. The World Economic Forum 2026 Annual Meeting will be held from the 19th to the 23rd in Davos, Switzerland, with the theme of "The Spirit of Dialogue". Nearly 3000 representatives from over 130 countries and regions around the world from different fields will discuss topics such as how to strengthen cooperation, unleash new growth drivers, and invest in people. Brender said that in a world of increasing division and competition, ensuring dialogue is crucial because dialogue is the beginning of a virtuous process that helps drive world progress. In the view of the World Economic Forum, dialogue is not a luxury, but a necessity
