"How can Asia lead the world?" is the question we want to discuss at the Davos Debates on East Asia which coincide with the World Economic Forum on East Asia held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from 6-7 June 2010.

The meeting is under the theme: “Rethinking Asia's Leadership Agenda”. The 19th World Economic Forum on East Asia will explore the many facets of the region's rising influence. YouTube users are invited to submit their ideas or questions via video or in writing to http://youtube.com/davos. Users can also vote on their favourite submissions from others using the new Google moderator function.

At the meeting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, we will set up a special Davos Debates video corner where participants, including presidents and business leaders, will respond via video to the questions submitted by YouTube users. The Davos Debates are designed to open the discussion about the future of the region to the wider public who is invited to share their questions and ideas about the region’s most pressing challenges.
