Davos 2018 : Improving the state of the world

The World Economic Forum is where political leaders mingle with business leaders, civil society advocates, academics and celebrities 

The elite World Economic Forum conference in Davos next week focuses on finding ways to reaffirm international cooperation on crucial shared interests.

Essentially, the conference is an economic gathering.

However, the main issue will be the future of global cooperation related to trade, the environment, fight against terrorism, tax systems and competitiveness. 

Ten heads of state or government from Africa, nine from the Middle East and North Africa, and six from Latin America will join Western leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and British Prime Minister Theresa May in Davos.

There will be protests too at the conference.

Protests have already begun against the World Economic Forum with this rally taking place in Bern
