As Asia, the Americas and Europe have numerous outstanding enterprises and vast markets, cooperation among them can bring immense business opportunities, said a Chinese business council leader.

Speaking in Beijing on Monday, Quan Shunji, president of the China Asia Economic Development Association, said gathering entrepreneurs and politicians from the three continents to explore cooperation models can "achieve mutually beneficial development".

Quan said the First Asia-America-Europe Business Cooperation and Development Forum, to be held Nov 2-3 in Bali, Indonesia, will group government officials, former political leaders, business representatives as well as top experts and scholars, to promote exchanges among enterprises.

China has always been an important promoter of international cooperation and multilateralism, said Quan, a co-chairman of the forum's Organizing Committee, during a news briefing.

In his speech, Djauhari Oratmangun, Indonesian ambassador to China, said the forum will help strengthen cooperation among enterprises from various countries, achieving mutual benefits and win-win results.

He said Indonesia is willing to bolster high-level exchanges with China, deepen cooperation in economic and cultural fields, and elevate the comprehensive strategic partnership and the building of a human community of a shared future between the two countries to new levels.

Former Chinese ambassador to the United Nations Shen Guofang said that in recent years, China has actively participated in global governance, advocated multilateralism, and promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, contributing both Chinese wisdom and solutions to global challenges.

Sun Yingjie, vice-president of the China Asia Economic Development Association and secretary-general of the forum's Organizing Committee, said with the themes of "Cross-Continental Cooperation", and "Indepth Development of Asia-America-Europe Business Cooperation", the forum will gather over 500 senior delegates.

These include government officials, former political leaders, delegates of business councils, representatives from Fortune Global 500 companies and renowned enterprises from Asia, the Americas and Europe, Sun said.

Sun added that the forum will be held in a hybrid format, with sub-forums covering such topics as biomedicine and medical care integration, the Global Maritime Fulcrum and the Belt and Road Initiative, new energy sectors and mineral resources.

She said that as the world is an interconnected whole, entrepreneurs attending the forum will have opportunities to enter new markets, access valuable resources and technical support, optimize resource allocation, and drive product and service innovation.

In her speech, Jiang Dan, initiator of the Beijing Yaoyang Public Welfare Foundation and co-chair of the forum's Organizing Committee, said enterprises are not only important drivers of economic development, but also bear the honorable mission of social welfare and promoting social harmony.
