The two-day China Conference: Southeast Asia 2023 that begins on Wednesday will feature keynote speeches by Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, Singapore’s Minister for Home Affairs and Law K. Shanmugam and Malaysia’s Minister for International Trade and Industry Tengku Zafrul Aziz.
The Chinese ambassador in Singapore, Sun Haiyan, will deliver a keynote address on Thursday.
The Singapore forum is the first major overseas conference organised by the Post since 2019. The 202o and 2021 editions were held virtually amid the Covid-19 pandemic, while the 2022 edition was held in hybrid format.
“The China Conference series has long been one of the most significant flagship thought leadership productions of the South China Morning Post,” said the Post’s chief executive Catherine So.
The latest edition of the China Conference: Southeast Asia conference series carries “incredible depth of political and economic analyses” that will shed light on the evolving relationship between China, its neighbours in Asia and the rest of the world, So said.
The conference line-up – comprising of 46 speakers – reflects “the diversity in thought celebrated and shared in value by the Post and its readers”, So added.
