As global tensions rise, the Beijing Xiangshan Forum has emerged as a critical platform for fostering international cooperation. This year's event, themed "Safeguarding International Order, Promoting Peace and Development," brought together defense ministers, military leaders, and scholars from over 90 countries and regions to address pressing security challenges.
CGTN correspondent Yang Xinmeng, reporting from the forum, emphasized the often-overlooked power of sustained dialogue. "While military strength dominates headlines," she noted in her vlog, "the real work of security happens at the negotiating table – through trust-building and persistent engagement."
The discussions highlighted innovative approaches to conflict prevention, with particular focus on cybersecurity, climate-related security risks, and multilateral crisis management. Analysts observed growing interest in China's proposals for non-confrontational dispute resolution frameworks.
For business leaders and policymakers, the forum offered insights into emerging stability factors affecting Asian markets. Academics praised the event's role in bridging theoretical research with practical policy-making needs.
