The 12th "Beige Dialogue" Annual Conference was held at Peking University

China News Service, Beijing, October 16 (Reporter Hu Moda) From October 14th to 16th, the 12th "Beige Dialogue" annual conference was held in the Beige of Peking University. This annual conference brings together former political figures and well-known scholars from the United States, Russia, France, India and other countries to discuss the changing power structure and development trends in today's world, relations between major powers, as well as regional hot spots and security risks.

This year's "Beige Dialogue" is hosted by the Institute of International Strategic Studies at Peking University. The theme is "Major Power Relations and the Global South: Structure and Trends" and includes closed discussions, open forums and other sessions. In the open forum held on the morning of the 16th, participants discussed and interacted with the audience on how to understand the international order in the context of changes in the international power structure, domestic political changes and their impact in the United States, and the role of the Global South in international affairs.

Participants believed that the trend of world multipolarity is still developing, and Sino-US relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world today; in the context of "America First", transatlantic relations are undergoing profound changes, and the urgency of Europe's "strategic independence" has become increasingly prominent; countries such as Russia, India and Japan are trying to exert greater influence in their respective regions; and the impact of conflicts in the Middle East has spilled over. In the face of these changes, China will continue to work together with the international community to safeguard world and regional peace and development.

Experts at the meeting suggested that China and the United States should actively seek cooperation to jointly deal with differences and challenges on the way forward, and build a constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the United States on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity.

It is reported that since 2014, the "Beige Dialogue" has invited former domestic and foreign political figures and well-known experts with rich political experience, profound academic accomplishments and broad strategic vision to attend the meeting every year to jointly discuss the international situation and the prospects of world politics.
