Beijing: Samsung Electronics Co. Chairman Lee Jae-yong was set to attend an annual China Development Forum in Beijing, according to the conference’s organizer on Sunday. Lee was among the notable figures listed as attendees for the prestigious event.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the list of attendees disclosed by the organizer late Saturday included prominent figures such as Kwak Noh-jung, chief executive officer of SK hynix Inc., Apple CEO Tim Cook, and CEOs of other major international companies like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nestle, and FedEx. This highlights the forum’s significance as a platform for global economic dialogue.
Lee last graced the forum in 2023, marking his ongoing engagement with international economic discussions. The conference is especially pivotal this year, as it takes place amid global trade uncertainties triggered by the U.S. administration’s recent tariff policies.
