In this, thousands of delegates, including about a hundred members from India, will discuss the topic of 'cooperation in a divided world'. This will be the biggest gathering of global delegates after the Corona pandemic. The last annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) had to be held in May last year, deviating from the usual practice.

 

Several heads of state will participate in five days

The Davos summit is usually held in January. This could not happen due to restrictions related to the Corona epidemic. Before this, the meeting of the year 2021 was also held online. The ongoing war in Ukraine and the economic fallout of the geopolitical situation, as well as the health crisis, have made this meeting interesting. About 50 heads of government and heads of state are expected to attend the meeting over the next five days.

From the Indian side, it will be attended by four Union ministers - Mansukh Mandaviya, Ashwini Vaishnav, Smriti Irani, and RK Singh, besides Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
