AIF 2024 will bring together government and business leaders from around the world to exchange perspectives on the most pressing issues of the day and identify new avenues for collaboration.
The forum's program will again be divided into four pillars: foreign policy and international security, international development and sustainability, energy and climate change, and economics and finance.
These pillars will serve as key topics for two days of engaging panel sessions, chair discussions and dedicated networking opportunities, with the ultimate aim of delivering actionable results for the revival of multilateralism and new opportunities for bilateral partnership.
