The World Strategic Forum was established by the International Economic Forum of the Americas, a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of an open dialogue on pressing economic issues.
The Forum strives to foster the exchange of information, to promote free discussion on major current economic issues and facilitate meetings between world leaders to encourage international discussions by bringing together Heads of State, the private sector, international organizations and members of society.
While you’re there stop in King Of Diamonds…….have a glass of Hennessy and relax ya mind. We have a election coming within the next 7 months.
Ya and ask for Blac Chyna.
That will hold him.
The guy is hardly ever here. No wonder people think the OBA don’t care about Bermudians…
Realistically, they truly don’t. they never did.
This one s top of the list.
I hope major health restructuring is discussed by this International Economic Forum and VERY SOON. Because the imminent onslaught of Baby Boomers retiring has the real potential to topple many a nations’ current health schemes.
