This parallel forum, themed "Upholding the People-Centric Foundation of Insurance and Enhancing the Effectiveness of Inclusive Support for Governance," aligns with the critical phase of advancing modernization in China's national governance system and capabilities during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. It brings together leading figures from government, industry, and academia for dialogue. The event features two key segments: keynote speeches and a roundtable discussion.

The roundtable discussion focuses on the launch of the "Sixth Insurance"—the long-term care insurance system blueprint and implementation pathways. Distinguished experts including Zheng Bingwen, former member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chief Expert at the World Social Security Research Center, CASS; Cai Lianhe, General Manager of Ruimai Life Insurance Co., Ltd.; He Yongping, General Manager of Health Insurance Division of China Life Insurance Company Limited; Liu Feng, Chairman and General Manager of Tianjin Xiaocheng Group Co., Ltd.; and Zhang Jun, Chairman and General Manager of Shanghai Shuyuliankang Technology Co., Ltd., engage in dialogue around core issues of the long-term care insurance industry chain to explore the system blueprint and practical pathways for long-term care insurance.
Additionally, the forum will invite experts from relevant fields.
