Earlier this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who also serves as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent a congratulatory letter to the third congress of the China Volunteer Service Federation. In the letter, Xi called for promoting the spirit of volunteering to serve the cause of building a great modern socialist country in all respects and achieving national rejuvenation.
Xi's message highlights the idea that volunteer-driven service can be a powerful force in national development, reinforcing social bonds and encouraging citizens to contribute to the public good. By placing volunteerism at the heart of China's long-term vision, the letter underscores how individual dedication and collective action combine to advance societal progress.
For young global citizens and changemakers across the G20, Xi's call resonates with broader trends in social impact and community engagement. As digital platforms and grassroots networks expand worldwide, the core values of solidarity, selfless service and civic responsibility remain universally relevant—reminding us that volunteering can shape the future of societies at every level.
