News: On the 7th, the 78th United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution proposed by China to establish an International Day for Dialogue of Civilizations, and designated June 10 as the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations. The resolution fully reflects the core essence of the global civilization initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has actively advocated the promotion of exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, advocated the promotion of common values ​​​​for all mankind, proposed global civilization initiatives, and contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to promote the progress of human civilization and respond to common global challenges.

The friendship between countries lies in the friendship between peoples, and the friendship between peoples lies in the mutual understanding of hearts. In January this year, the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France and the Cultural Tourism Year were launched. In March, China's "Kazakhstan Tourism Year" was launched. In May, the China-Zambia Culture and Tourism Year, the China-Tanzania Tourism and Culture Year, and the China-Russia Culture Year were launched one after another. China joins hands with countries around the world to promote mutual exchanges and learning among different civilizations and share the achievements of human development.

The world is a garden of civilizations. Civilizations communicate because of their diversity, learn from each other because of communication, and are enriched because of mutual learning. Chinese civilization has always insisted on maintaining exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations in the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping has set an example and continuously promoted exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations to become a bridge to enhance the friendship of peoples of all countries.

In March 2014, President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the UNESCO headquarters, profoundly expounding the concept of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and providing Chinese wisdom and solutions for enhancing the common interests of all mankind.

In May 2019, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations, calling for mutual respect and equal treatment, appreciating each other's beauty and sharing it together, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit, keeping pace with the times, and innovative development to jointly create a bright future for Asian and world civilizations.

In March 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed the global civilization initiative for the first time at the high-level dialogue between the Communist Party of China and world political parties, advocating respecting the diversity of world civilizations, promoting the common values ​​of all mankind, attaching importance to the inheritance and innovation of civilizations, and strengthening international people-to-people and cultural exchanges and cooperation. The world has provided another important international public good.

In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development that Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness, which fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the exchanges, exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation, and determines the openness of Chinese culture to the world's civilizations. . The outstanding peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of the international order.

Over the past ten years, the connotation and extension of the concept of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations have been continuously expanded, and practical results have been continuously accumulated. A new pattern of all-round, multi-level and wide-ranging exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations is taking shape.

Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, various bilateral and multilateral civilizational dialogue platforms and mechanisms around the world have become increasingly rich, and cooperation networks have been established in an orderly manner. A series of conferences such as the "Liangzhu Forum", the World Congress of Chinese Studies·Shanghai Forum, and the Nishan Forum on World Civilizations have been successfully held , a variety of people-to-people and cultural exchange activities have been widely carried out, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, cultural integration, and people-to-people connections around the world have presented a new situation.

At the same time, the breadth and depth of external exchanges in public undertakings such as science and technology, education, culture, health and sports have been significantly expanded. Jointly build the "Belt and Road" and establish platforms such as the Silk Road International Theater, Art Festival, Library, Art Museum, News Media, Tourism City Alliance, and International Think Tank Cooperation Committee, and the "Belt and Road" will become a broad avenue for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. . At present, my country has carried out extensive educational cooperation and exchanges with more than 180 countries that have diplomatic relations with it, and has signed agreements on mutual recognition of academic qualifications with 59 countries and regions. Media initiatives such as the Global Media Innovation Forum contribute media wisdom and strength to deepening global cooperation and jointly promoting people-to-people connectivity and mutual learning among civilizations.
