BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) — The 13th World Peace Forum (WPF) underway in the Chinese capital has brought together more than 1,200 guests from 86 countries and regions to exchange views on maintaining global peace and resolving conflicts.
Held from July 2 to 4 under the theme “Advancing Global Peace and Prosperity: Shared Responsibility, Benefits and Achievements,” the forum brought together leading strategists, senior policymakers and former political leaders.
“The current international situation is complex and serious, local conflicts follow one another, and world peace and development are facing unprecedented challenges,” said Li Luming, president of Tsinghua University and chairman of the WFY, speaking at the opening ceremony of the forum on Thursday.
Li Lumin noted that in the context of a turbulent international situation and growing geopolitical tensions, strengthening unity and dialogue is more important than ever.
The forum’s program includes four plenary sessions and 18 panel discussions, where participants will share their views on topics such as international order and world peace, pan-securitization and global security challenges, the role of the Global South in achieving world peace and prosperity, as well as major power coordination and conflict resolution.
Since 2012, Tsinghua University has co-hosted the event with the Chinese People’s Society for the Study of International Relations. The forum aims to provide a platform for communication and exchange of views for strategists and think tanks around the world. -0-
