On January 10, vice president Wang Qishan delivered a video speech at the second civilization exchange and mutual learning dialogue. Wang Qishan stressed that promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations is a major issue for achieving world peace and development and a better life for the people. We should constantly deepen our understanding of ourselves and other civilizations, look for the key to the exchange of civilizations from the perspective of all mankind, gain confidence from historical, cultural and philosophical thinking, and constantly condense the consensus on building a community with a shared future for mankind. Wang Qishan pointed out that in the long history of more than 5000 years, the Chinese nation has created a brilliant Chinese civilization and made important contributions to the progress of human civilization. The Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and created a new form of human civilization. *** Wang Qishan said that on the new journey, China will continue to strengthen unity and cooperation with other countries, gather forces to promote civilization and progress, and jointly create a better future. One belt, one road, is China's best opportunity to share with the rest of the world, and to jointly promote the global development initiative to accelerate the landing and build a "one belt and one road" cooperation, and to further enhance the material base of human civilization. We are willing to work with other countries to practice genuine multilateralism and promote the construction of a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation. Realizing democracy and freedom is the common mission of all mankind. We cannot measure the world's rich and colorful political civilization with a yardstick. We are willing to work with all parties to respect, trust and learn from each other and explore new ways for the development and progress of human democracy. The dialogue was hosted by the China Association for international exchanges. Ji Bingxuan, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony, with about 260 participants from all walks of life at home and abroad.
