"The World Economic Forum returns to the Swiss Alps tomorrow, January 19, launching its 56th annual meeting under the theme "A Spirit of Dialogue." Until January 23, the idyllic alpine town of Davos will once again find itself at the center of global politics, economics, and diplomacy, as a record 3,000 political, business, and civil society leaders are expected to gather to debate the world's most pressing challenges."
"This year's meeting comes with particular attention on the United States, as President Donald Trump is sending the largest U.S. delegation in WEF history, including five cabinet secretaries, senior White House officials, and congressional figures. While the size of the delegation signals Washington's desire to shape the global conversation, Trump's political style sits uneasily with the forum's stated aim. Dialogue, by definition, relies on mutual respect, compromise, and a willingness to listen."
The World Economic Forum holds its 56th annual meeting in Davos from January 19 to 23 under the theme 'A Spirit of Dialogue.' A record 3,000 political, business, and civil society leaders are expected to attend. Hundreds of panels, closed-door meetings, and informal encounters aim to ease tensions in an increasingly fractured global order. The focus on dialogue responds to strains on international cooperation amid geopolitical, economic, and climate pressures. The United States is sending its largest-ever WEF delegation, including five cabinet secretaries, senior White House officials, and congressional figures. Confrontational rhetoric from President Trump risks undermining consensus-building and NATO unity.
