China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng met with a coterie of top global executives at the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to a person familiar with the matter — maintaining his nation’s international outreach amid fears of trade and financial fragmentation.

The group that China’s top trade negotiator met with included Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, FedEx Corp.’s Raj Subramaniam, and Mastercard Inc.’s Michael Miebach, according to the person. The group participated in a luncheon hosted by a WEF official on Tuesday, according to the person, who asked not to be identified discussing a private event.
