The year 2024 marks the twelfth consecutive year of China Arbitration Week. In the past twelve years, it has been a series of gatherings on the forefront of arbitration, a series of contemporary issues in arbitration, a series of paintings depicting the hard work of arbitration practitioners, and a series of poems outlining the vigorous development of the arbitration cause. Over the past decade, China Arbitration Week has stood for justice and has attracted many friends at home and abroad. With their wide support and in-depth participation, the scale of the event has continued to expand, and it has gradually become one of the most influential global arbitration law events.
Building on past achievements to start a new journey, forging ahead to continue the glorious chapters, the 12th China Arbitration Week is about to begin with many activities being prepared as scheduled. Let us join hands in the new journey of arbitration rule of law construction, with foresight, to jointly seek the far-reaching development of China’s arbitration, and with perseverance, to jointly fulfil the responsibility of international commercial arbitration.
