Dr Kevin Lin interpreted at The World Economic Forum (Davos). He talks about his highlights there:

  • This was my tenth Davos!
  • China sent arguably the highest ranking official so far – a Vice President
  • The first large display advert by a Chinese bank (see photo)
  • The microblog Queen of China with 78 million followers was given a Crystal Award
  • Foes turned into friends – the leaders of the two parts of Cyprus shook hands on stage to display shared aspiration for a united Cyprus
  • The children of the Governor of the World Bank asked their father to do more about climate change
  • The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau declared himself a feminist
  • David Cameron spoke eloquently without using auto cue – the only keynote speaker to do that.
