Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a congratulatory letter to the 11th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, which opened in Beijing on Thursday.
In the letter, Xi pointed out that in the face of global changes of a magnitude not seen in a century and the expectations of people around the world for security and stability, China has been practicing the Global Security Initiative, continuously consolidating consensus among all parties, promoting the elimination of the root causes of international conflicts, improving global security governance, and making unremitting efforts to build a world of lasting peace and universal security.
He expressed hope that the forum will continue to uphold the spirit of equality, openness, inclusiveness and mutual learning; foster broad consensus and deepen mutual trust; and make new and greater contributions to collectively addressing global security challenges and promoting the building of a human community with a shared future.
The theme of this year’s forum is “Promoting Peace for a Shared Future.” The number and level of participants has exceeded all previous years, with over 500 official representatives from more than 100 countries and international organizations attending, as well as over 200 experts and scholars from both China and abroad.
