The WEF organizes an annual forum in Davos where the world's political and economic leaders gather to discuss various global agenda, reports Yonhap News Agency.
The forum has been usually held in the beginning of the year, but due to the Omicron-fuelled Covid-19 wave, this year's edition has been pushed back to May 22-26.
