13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum Kicks Off with Focus on Global Stability and Security Governance

Beijing, September 15 (Daily Kiran) : The 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum has officially begun at the Beijing International Conference Center. Running from September 15 to 17, this year’s theme is “Building Consensus on Stability, Jointly Promoting Security Governance.”

The forum has attracted official delegations from approximately 100 countries, regions, and international organizations, alongside scholars and experts from both China and abroad.

As the world faces unprecedented changes, the forum aims to address the shared aspirations of the international community to maintain peace and stability, while also enhancing the global security governance framework.

Highlighting “stability,” the discussions will focus on strengthening the foundations of the international order amid turbulent changes. The aspect of “governance” will emphasize dialogue and consultation to tackle security challenges and improve the global security governance system.

These two elements are interconnected, showcasing China’s commitment to peacekeeping amidst conflicts and seeking mutual benefits in times of security governance stalemates.

This year’s forum will concentrate on major and immediate challenges in the international security arena. It will feature comprehensive strategic analyses and practical discussions across various sectors. Four plenary sessions and eight parallel group sessions will address critical topics such as traditional and non-traditional security, global governance, regional hotspots, military technology, and international law.

An opening ceremony for the Beijing Xiangshan Forum is scheduled for Wednesday. Notably, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the forum’s establishment. Since its inception in 2006, the forum has fostered dialogue and exchanges based on the principles of equality, openness, inclusiveness, and mutual learning, becoming a significant platform for China’s military diplomacy.
