The Boao Forum for Asia 2022 Annual Conference is taking place between April 20 and 22 in Qionghai, Hainan. The theme of this year’s conference is “The World in Covid-19 and beyond: Working Together for Global Development and a shared future.”

The conference has drawn big names from different walks of life, gathering in Bo’ao to put their heads together and discuss plans for post-Covid development both for Asia and the world. Starting 16 April, special coverage of the BFA Annual Conference 2022, -"BFA: Hainan's Window to the World" - will be launched by the Hainan International Media Centre (HIMC) and the Hainan International Communication Network (HICN). A series of programmes, including "Boao Moments - Voice of the Global Youth", "Boao Voices – Aspirations for Asia", "Names and Faces @ Boao – Words from the World’s Greats" and "Boao Travelogue – Trekking Around Boao" will be released.

What is the Asia you hope to see? We asked people of different nationalities and ages to tell us their wishes and aspirations. Watch “Boao Voices | Aspirations for Asia” to hear what they had to say.
