The world's attention is once again focused on Guangdong.
In the past few days, Guangzhou has successively undertaken a number of international forums and conferences. On December 2, the 2023 "Understanding China" International Conference opened in GuangzhouFrom December 3rd to 5th, the "2023 Imperial Springs International Forum" was held in Phoenix MountainThe 5th World Summit was also held in Guangzhou from December 2 to 8.

The holding of a series of important foreign affairs activities reflects the strong desire of the world to get closer to China. In the past few decades, the structure of the world has changed a lot, and in an increasingly multipolar world, understanding China has become a "must-answer question" for the world. At the same time, China also longs for the world to listen, see and understand China. It is this kind of "two-way travel" that has built a "bridge of communication", created an important international conference, and added a new window for China to speak on the international stage.
China's role as "highly visible and significant. Against the backdrop of accelerated changes in the world today, how to solve the challenges facing global development and security, "China's actions" are particularly concerned and expected by the world. Holding a series of important foreign affairs activities is of great significance to further tell China's story, better promote dialogue and build consensus between China and the world.
Taking the "Imperial Springs International Forum" as an example, since its inception in 2014, the Imperial Springs International Forum has been held for seven sessions, from former heads of state, heads of state and heads of international organizations to leaders in various fields such as academia and business, with guests across five continents and all over the world. This year's theme is "Multilateralism: More Communication, More Inclusion, More Cooperation". The essence of multilateralism is that international affairs should be handled by all countries through consultation, and the future and destiny of the world should be jointly controlled by all countries. In this process, the international community especially wants to hear more Chinese voices, which is an important reason why so many foreign guests gather in Guangzhou.
Guangdong is not only an important window to show the world the achievements of China's reform and opening up, but also an important window for the international community to observe China's reform and opening up. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary of Guangdong has attached great importance to comprehensively deepening reform and expanding opening up, and hopes that Guangdong will "continue to play a window, experimental role, and vanguard role in reform and opening up", and encourage Guangdong to "continue to deepen reform in an all-round way, expand opening up in an all-round way, and strive to create a new and greater miracle that impresses the world". At present, Guangdong is thoroughly implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the important speeches and important instructions of the General Secretary to Guangdong, in accordance with the specific deployment of the Provincial Party Committee's "1310", adhering to high-quality development as the traction, further promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the construction of major platforms such as Hengqin, Qianhai, Nansha and Hetao, unswervingly deepening reform and opening up, and vigorously promoting the "high-quality development project of 100 counties, thousands of towns and thousands of villages" and other key work. Here, Chinese and foreign guests, youth representatives and people can not only learn about the actions of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, feel the beautiful picture of the vigorous development of the Greater Bay Area, feel the unlimited potential released by the super-large-scale market, feel the development vitality of scientific and technological innovation, but also find new opportunities brought by Guangdong's high-level opening up.
Walk the world together and create a better future. To let the world see and understand China through the window of Guangdong, we need to further innovate communication concepts, methods and platforms. Whether it is the 2023 "Understanding China" International Conference, or the "2023 Imperial Springs International Forum" and the 5th World ** Summit, we need to interpret Chinese modernization with the fiery practice of the Chinese people in the new era, so that we can come to Guangdong for a walk. Take a look at the friends of the world, feel the great changes brought by reform and opening up to China, experience the style of Chinese civilization with Lingnan culture as the window, help the world better understand China, help China better go to the world, further deepen mutual understanding in the era of great changes, strengthen pragmatic cooperation, and work together to embrace a better future.
