Beijing security forum promotes dialogue to prevent dangerous misjudgments

Where there is a lack of mutual trust in international relations, there is always the risk of misunderstandings and miscalculation. Dialogue is the only way to build the necessary trust.

Which is why, in his congratulatory message to the ninth Beijing Xiangshan Forum, which opened on Monday, President Xi Jinping reiterated that China is committed to advancing cooperation through dialogue, promoting peace through cooperation, and safeguarding development through peace.

And this is exactly what the Beijing Xiangshan Forum is meant to do - promote dialogue, cooperation and peace.
