It was also decided that the Summit meetings would extend for two days and that all discussions would be at the level of the Conference's General Assembly rather than at separate panel sessions.

The Summit is concerned with all issues related to international cooperation in the fields of business and economic cooperation, and it has achieved significant and tremendous success in fostering friendly relations between countries.

The two parties also agreed that this year’s agenda would expand to include a number of important international issues that have clear implications on trade and economic cooperation among all countries of the world; particularly the international order and climate change.
