It advocates that all countries champion humanity's common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, jointly implement the GCI, respect the diversity of civilizations, value the inheritance and innovation of civilizations, and let cultural exchanges transcend estrangement, mutual learning transcend clashes, and coexistence transcend feelings of superiority for the further progress of civilizations.
