Introduction of the Taihe Civilizations Forum

Taihe Civilizations Forum Set to Open in July 

The 7th Taihe Civilizations Forum (TCF) is set to officially commence in July 2023. This year's TCF has built upon the excellence of its previous editions while presenting itself in an entirely novel form.  
 
From July to October, TCF hold a series of sub-sessions in various Chinese cities including Quanzhou, Taiyuan, Kazakhstan, Beijing, and Hong Kong. These sub-sessions will revolve around topics of cultural exchanges and mutual appreciation of civilizations under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), multilateral cooperation in energy, challenges and opportunities in the evolution of the international landscape and order, vocational education development strategy, talent integration between Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, and digital China construction. Esteemed experts and scholars from both China and around the world are invited to share and engage in intellectual discourse. 
 
The first sub-session of the Forum on cultural exchanges held in Quanzhou on July 3. It explored how to promote the high-quality development of the BRI and usher in a new chapter of cultural exchanges and mutual appreciation of civilization against the backdrop of the 10th anniversary of the BRI and Global Civilization Initiative.   
 
Since its founding in 2017, TCF has been held consecutively for seven sessions.  During this period, over 1,000 experts from across the globe have been invited to partake in discussions, and TCF has garnered extensive media coverage, with over 80 Chinese and foreign media outlets reporting. With the wholehearted involvement and support from various parties, the forum has evolved into a highly influential platform for academic exchanges and public diplomacy.
