On November 16 – 17, 2016, The HausofEvents team had the privilege of working with The Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI) and The 8th World Chinese Economic Summit (WCES) 2016 held at Hotel Equatorial, Malacca, Malaysia. We assisted the event by providing videography and post-production editing delivered within less than 24 hours! What a fete it was for us but definitely exhilarating to work within a short time frame. Nonetheless, we are so grateful for the opportunity and glad that the client was satisfied with the end result. We always try to give our best and committed to going beyond in whatever challenging situations.

Here is a little info on what happened and what it means to our economy.

The World Chinese Economic Summit (WCES) is a premier international event which started off as the World Chinese Economic Forum (WCEF) 8 years ago. It is a flagship event created by The Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI) to enhance connectivity and business linkages between China and Southeast Asia and China and Europe in line with the Chinese leadership’s Belt and Road initiatives. The WCES also promotes global and regional dialogue on the emergence and role of China as the world’s 2nd largest economy. It also brings together the global Chinese Diaspora and promotes entrepreneurship and innovation through business networking and sharing of knowledge and best practices.

Over the past 7 years, the WCES had been held in Malaysia, China, Australia and Britain. WCES is an internationally recognized high-Level platform for business, trade facilitation and investment to build new partnerships.

During the 6th WCES held in Chongqing, China, the Vice President of China, H.E. Li Yuanchao delivered the Keynote Address and highlighted the crucial role of the Chinese Diaspora as a bridge connecting countries. He noted that 60% of investments in China comes from the global Chinese Diaspora and hoped that overseas Chinese entrepreneurs would realize and seize the opportunity to invest and trade with China and other countries and contribute to world economic recovery.

For over 2000 years, the Silk Road had connected China to Southeast Asia and China with the West. China’s new Belt and Road initiatives will reignite these historic links. The World Chinese Economic Summit is well placed to be a premier event to discuss the actualization and the business potential of the Belt and Road initiative.

This year, the theme was China – ASEAN: Realizing opportunities, Strengthening Partnerships. Notable attendees include Former Prime Ministers of Australia, H.E. Kevin Rudd and Indonesia, H.E. Susilo BambangYudhoyuno among many others. For more info, please visit http://www.wceforum.org/
