'By 2036, we expect to become the fifth biggest economy in the world, offering 100 million job opportunities, serving 2 billion consumers and being the profitable platforms for 10 million small and medium firms,' Ma said.
Through 'this new economy,' Ma hopes young people and small companies around the world will be enabled to 'buy globally, sell globally, pay globally, deliver globally and travel globally.'
Global expansion is the group's main direction of future strategic evolution, and it will start by entering local e-commerce markets in Southeast Asian countries, Zhang added.
