Chen said that on March 15th, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-level Meeting and delivered a keynote speech, putting forward the Global Civilization Initiative: First, we advocate respect for the diversity of civilizations. Countries need to uphold the principles of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among civilizations, and let cultural exchanges transcend estrangement, mutual learning transcend clashes, and coexistence transcend feelings of superiority. Second, we advocate the common values of humanity. Peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom are the common aspirations of all peoples. Countries need to keep an open mind in appreciating the perceptions of values by different civilizations, and refrain from imposing their own values or models on others and from stoking ideological confrontation. Third, we advocate the importance of inheritance and innovation of civilizations. Countries need to fully harness the relevance of their histories and cultures to the present times, and push for creative transformation and innovative development of their fine traditional cultures. Fourth, we advocate robust international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation. Countries need to explore the building of a global network for inter-civilization dialogue and cooperation, enrich the contents of exchanges and expand avenues of cooperation to promote mutual understanding and friendship among people of all countries and jointly advance the progress of human civilizations. General Secretary Xi Jinping's Global Civilization Initiative aims to promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and the advancement of human civilization, injecting powerful positive energy into the progress of human modernization and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Young people from countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative should use their youthful energy to build bridges and facilitate channels for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations; use their youthful voices to resonate with others and promote the common values of all humanity; use their youthful vitality to enrich exchanges, enhancing cultural cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative; and use their youthful wisdom to pool consensus, promoting understanding and friendship among people from different countries.

The youth representatives from various countries highly praised General Secretary Xi Jinping's proposal of the Global Civilization Initiative. They believe that the Global Civilization Initiative's focus on the "four advocacies" provides a Chinese solution for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and the progress of human civilization. The Global Civilization Initiative, following the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, is another important public product provided by China in the new era for the international community, which is bound to bring more benefits to people from all countries around the world At the event, the youth representatives from various countries released a joint action declaration on implementing the Global Civilization Initiative. They pledged to actively respond to the Global Civilization Initiative, serve as ambassadors for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, pool their youthful wisdom to build the silk road among civilizations, and contribute their youthful strength.
