Approved by the State Council and sponsored by the Development Research Center of the State Council, China Development Forum 2015 (CDF2015) kicked off on March 21, 2015 at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing.

Initiated in 2000, CDF has made remarkable contributions for the policy exchange and international collaborations between China and the world.

As the first large-scale and high-profile international conference right after the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in each year, CDF has been sticking to the principle of “Engaging with the world for the common prosperity” and serves as an important platform for Chinese government to carry out candid exchanges and discussions with global business elites, leaders of international organizations as well as foreign and Chinese renowned scholars.
