Asian dialogue aims to build stronger sense of community

Barely three weeks after it hosted the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which attracted participants from around the world, Beijing is now hosting the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations.

Participants from the 47 Asian countries, plus those from outside the region, gather on Wednesday in the Chinese capital to celebrate cultural diversity, enhance cultural bonds, and foster a fresh sense of community.

Themed inter-civilization exchanges and an Asian Community with a Shared Future, the event is aimed at boosting self and mutual confidence among Asian civilizations.
