Haikou, April 21 (Xinhua) More than 700 entrepreneurs among over 800 participants will present themselves at the Annual Conference 2005 of Bo’ao Forum for Asia on April 22-24.

    The BFA secretariat exposed that BMW, Microsoft and TNT among other multinational companies would send more than 100 leaders to the conference. Senior executives of Haier, Lenovo and PetroChina and so on from Chinese mainland as well as those of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan enterprises such as Phoenix TV and Li & Fung are to turn up at the forum as scheduled.

    We look forward to more entrepreneurs participating in the high-level forum, exchanging and discussing, for the sake of the enterprises. In this way, BFA will be a successful and pragmatic one, said Long Yongtu, secretary general of BFA.

    He thought to be an international economic forum BFA had to attract first-class companies from China, Asia and even all over the world, talking about the most important issues at present. 

    That is why the annual conference will deal with the economic topics including: The Internationalization Road of Asian Companies, Corporate Governance and Competitiveness, Economic Growth and Entrepreneurs' Social Responsibilities -- Environmental Protection, Labor and Charity, Monetary Policy and Economic Growth, Automobiles Industry in China -- Challenges and Integration and Prospects of Real Estate Development in China, etc..

    In terms of the form, the annual conference attaches more importance to interaction and exchange than ever. Each speech will be limited to five minutes, so that there will be more time for questions and answers. A cocktail is arranged on the eve of April 22 before the official opening, at which the participants will know each other as soon as possible with the view to better communication at the conference.

    After the cocktail, there will be an exclusive dialogue between ministers and entrepreneurs, through which the ministers will directly know what are the issues that the entrepreneurs are most concerned about, and the latter will get more information about relative policies in turn.

    It is reported that many enterprises and local governments applied for attendance for they believe they will benefit from the annual conference.

    Tsingtao, a northeast city in China, sent a representative to the annual conference last year, at which he knew over 30 senior executives of multinationals, more than 20 of whom visited the city for cooperation in the past year. And Du Shicheng, leader of the city will come to the annual conference this year.

    I have been thinking how to make BFA a forum serving entrepreneurs, said Long Yongtu, each of the next annual conferences would be a grand gathering for entrepreneurs. 

博鳌亚洲论坛热衷于为中外企业家铺路搭桥

    新华网海南频道４月２１日消息（记者王英诚、刘华）４月２２日至２４日，第四届博鳌亚洲论坛将在海南省博鳌召开，在出席本届论坛的８００多名代表中有７００多名都是企业家，博鳌亚洲论坛已成为中外企业家相互交流的一个重要平台。

    据博鳌亚洲论坛秘书处透露，即将与会的国外知名企业有德国宝马集团、美国微软公司以及荷兰TNT邮政集团等，中国大陆的海尔集团、联想集团、中石化、中石油以及凤凰卫视、利丰集团等众多港澳台公司，也将派出企业的决策者和主要运营者参加年会。

    对此，博鳌亚洲论坛秘书长龙永图说：“我们希望更多知名企业和企业家，特别是中国知名的企业和企业家，参加到这样高层次的论坛当中，去交流信息，探讨问题，并且让企业有所收获。这样，博鳌亚洲论坛就会是一个成功的论坛，有用的论坛。”

    龙永图认为，博鳌亚洲论坛要成为具有国际意义的经济论坛，其重要标志之一就是要能够吸引世界、亚洲和中国的一流企业与会，共同讨论当前最重要、企业最关注的问题。

    因此，本届年会的议题会涉及以下几方面内容：亚洲企业的国际化问题；亚洲企业的公司治理和国际竞争力问题；证券市场问题以及经济增长中企业家的社会责任问题。

    此外，年会还安排了关于汽车和房地产的两个专场会，这些都是中国老百姓和经济界十分关注的产业。

    就会议的形式而言，本届年会与往年相比将更加强调互动与交流。每个演讲者的演讲都不得超过五分钟，以便于让与会者有更多的时间提出和回答问题。年会开幕前夕的欢迎酒会将化大为小，因为小型酒会有利于与会代表和嘉宾尽快结识，从而为会议期间更好地进行交流打下基础。

    欢迎酒会之后，还将有一个小范围的部长与企业家对话会。在这样的对话中，部长们可以直接了解企业家所关注的问题，而企业家也可以更多地了解相关的政策信息。

    据介绍，不少企业和地方政府在得知以上信息后，纷纷要求派人参加本届年会。他们认为，年会是一个有用的平台，将为他们所在的单位带来收益。

    山东省青岛市曾派代表参加过第三届博鳌亚洲论坛，在年会上结识了30多位国外大型企业的负责人，其中20多位在过去一年时间里到访过该市，洽谈合作事宜。今年，山东省省委副书记、青岛市市委书记杜世成也将参加年会。

    “我一直想如何使博鳌亚洲论坛真正成为为中国服务、为中国企业家服务的论坛，” 龙永图说，今后历届博鳌亚洲论坛年会，都将办成企业家参加的盛会。（完）
