Gong Haoming, president of the Beijing Fourth Intermediate People's Court (BFIPC), attended the event and delivered a keynote speech.
In his speech titled "Improving and Innovating the Judicial Review Mechanisms for Foreign-Related Arbitration to Support High-Quality Development of International Arbitration", Gong systematically introduced the BFIPC's recent initiatives in strengthening arbitration mechanisms, aligning with international rules and fostering an arbitration-friendly environment, while highlighting the proactive role of the judiciary in supporting the growth of the arbitration sector and safeguarding high-level opening-up.
During the event, Gong also engaged in in-depth discussions with participants on topics such as global trends in international arbitration and cooperation in cross-border dispute resolution.
