Xi's diplomacy in 2025: Shedding light on a world at crossroads
In February, Xi and international dignitaries gathered in Harbin, the host city of the ninth Asian Winter Games. With a record high in the number of participating countries and regions as well as athletes, China and the world have together achieved mutual learning among civilizations through sports.
In a congratulatory letter to the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting, Xi stressed an ever-pressing need for civilizations to transcend estrangement through exchanges, and to transcend clashes through mutual learning.
This year, Xi has introduced the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Beijing Central Axis to the visiting King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua of the Kingdom of Thailand, encouraged young sinologists to serve as messengers to promote mutual understanding between Chinese and foreign civilizations, and called on China and Egypt to contribute the strength of civilizations to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
Just as Xi noted in his 2025 new year message, "China will work with all countries to promote friendship and cooperation, enhance mutual learning among different cultures, and build a community with a shared future for humanity. We must jointly create a better future for the world."
