05/17/2021 17:43:38
The World Economic Forum announced today, Monday, that its annual meeting, "Davos", has been postponed and moved from Singapore in light of the emerging Corona virus crisis.
The World Economic Forum said in a statement that the next annual meeting will be in the first half of next year 2022, with a final venue to be decided later.
The forum added that it is impossible to hold a global meeting in light of the pandemic and the confusion of travel and the disparity in the distribution of vaccines and new virus strains, according to "Reuters".
Thus, the World Economic Forum has canceled a special annual meeting that was scheduled to be held in Singapore within 3 months.
The World Economic Forum is an international, non-governmental and not-for-profit institution, famous for its annual forum, which is usually organized in January every year in the town of Davos in Switzerland, and it brings together an elite of businessmen and women, politicians and academics to discuss the economic and political challenges facing the world and ways to solve them.

Al-Lahibi said in an interview with Al-Ma'amah, that “the level of poverty in Iraq has reached a critical stage, confirming that the talk is that its percentage ranges between 30-40% is less than the reality, especially since the slums have turned into cities that show the harsh conditions and their accumulations that have pushed thousands of families to A very painful situation.”
Al-Lahibi added, “The economic crisis and the repercussions of raising the price of the dollar and the conditions of Corona have increased poverty rates by 15%, especially in Diyala and the rest of the provinces that have suffered a security setback after June 2014, pointing to the difficult situation, warning of a popular explosion if there are no serious efforts to confront the growing poverty. The material need that leads us to disastrous consequences in the growth of organized crime and exploitation by terrorism." LINK
