The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) will hold its annual conference from Tuesday to Friday in Boao, a coastal town in China's island province of Hainan.

Ben Simpfendorfer, a partner at consultancy Oliver Wyman, noted that industrial and supply chains are among the most focused issues in the current global economy, and the company will discuss how the international community should strengthen coordination and jointly maintain supply chain stability.

Founded in 2001, the BFA is a non-governmental and non-profit international organization committed to promoting regional economic integration and bringing Asian countries closer to their development goals.
