Five years on, Xi's words at Davos still resonate

Editor's note: China Daily is publishing a series of stories reviewing President Xi Jinping's visits at home and abroad in the past decade, to showcase his vision for development in China and around the world.

Key points made five years ago by President Xi Jinping at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, remain valid for meeting global challenges today, experts around the world said.

While giving a key speech at the 2017 Davos Forum, Xi made a strong case for advancing globalization and rejecting protectionism. It was the first-ever speech made by a Chinese head of state at Davos.
