Hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the two-day event brings together around 200 scholars and experts from 35 countries and regions.
Under the theme "Changes unseen in a century and the governance of China," participants will explore the Communist Party of China's governance philosophy. The forum serves as a key platform to deepen global understanding of Xi Jinping Thought and share traditional Chinese culture and Chinese wisdom.
Over two days, attendees will exchange views on major global transformations and discuss how China's approaches to development and governance can offer lessons in an era of profound change. Sessions include panel discussions, keynote speeches, and roundtable talks with leading academics and policy experts.
As the world navigates complex challenges from economic restructuring to digital innovation, the forum aims to bridge academic research and policy practice. By fostering international dialogue, organizers hope to promote the dissemination of Chinese wisdom on topics ranging from sustainable development to social governance.
With its blend of scholarly insights and cultural exchange, the forum underscores Beijing's drive to position the Chinese mainland at the heart of global conversations on governance and development. It also highlights the growing role of international collaboration in shaping the narratives of the 21st century.
