The year 2021 is to see the Davos Meeting virtually due to still raging Covid 19 Pandemic. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will be among the speakers at the virtual conference that runs from January 25 to January 29. 

It is believed that the meeting will be a great opportunity for Chinese President to convey his vision for US-China relations to newly sworn-in US President Joe Biden, relations which grew increasingly strained under former President Donald Trump. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva also will attend the meeting. 50-year-old annual event usually attended by global political and business leaders, celebrities and prominent social activists is taking place amid the worst economic crisis in living memory that made millions jobless and deepened global inequalities. 

World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab told reporters that the World need an economic recovery that is “more resilient, more inclusive and more sustainable". Schwab said the world needs to restore trust in our world. “We have to substantially reinforce global cooperation again and engage all stakeholders into the solution of the problems we face, and here we have to engage particularly business,” he said. “COVID anywhere is COVID everywhere,” WEF President Borge Brende told reporters. “We all are in the same boat and we would have to collaborate to really make progress".
