China to organise Asia civilization dialogue conference

The conference will focus on themes of the exchange and mutual learning among Asian civilizations, and a community of shared future.

Other activities such as an Asian cultural carnival, Asian civilization week and Asian food festival, will also be held. 

The conference will invite state leaders from Asia and other regions, heads of international organizations and representatives from various fields of humanities.

The Asia civilization dialogue conference was initiated by Chinese President Xi Jin-ping at Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference in 2015.

He said the event was to boost regional cooperation and development, while providing a platform to enhance interaction among young people, civil groups, local communities and the media, as well as forming a think-tank cooperation network./.
