Stockholm China Forum
Stockholm China Forum has developed into the leading space for transatlantic debate on China policy issues. The Forum attracts the loyal participation of senior government officials, intellectuals, journalists and business representatives from the United States, Europe and China for an off-the-record, biannual dialogue in a conversational setting. Since the Forum was first established in 2007, a large variety of topics have been covered, tracing the development of the Chinese economy, its domestic politics, foreign and security policy and the evolution of the U.S.-Europe-China relationship on the global stage. The Forum is held in partnership with the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
Previous Stockholm China Forums have included participants from across the U.S. policy community such as James Steinberg, Aaron Friedberg, Kenneth Lieberthal, Robert Kagan, Derek Mitchell and Christopher Hill; senior representatives from the European External Action Service, DG-trade, and major member states; European thinkers such as Mark Leonard and Charles Grant; and renowned experts on China such as Francois Godement and Minxin Pei. Since the fourth Stockholm China Forum, discussion has benefitted from the attendance of senior Chinese policy figures such as Cui Liru, Jin Canrong, Yan Xuetong, Yang Yi, Qin Yaqing and Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying. Swedish Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt, is a regular and active participant at the Forum. The Forums have been notable for attracting consistent and loyal participation and for their lively policy-focused discussions – one senior European participant described the Forum as the “the most policy-relevant seminars that I take part in”.
