Leaders Convene At 2025 Imperial Springs International Forum In Guangzhou
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 (Bernama) -- The 2025 Imperial Springs International Forum concluded on Dec 3 after three days of discussions on global development, gathering over 200 distinguished guests from more than 30 countries and regions.
Themed "For Global Cooperation and Solidarity", this year's forum featured 10 events, including the opening and closing ceremonies, closed-door meetings, plenary discussions, parallel forums, and the "Guangzhou Night" reception.
According to a statement, participants engaged in in-depth dialogue on key topics such as global security challenges, recalibrating global governance for greater stability, and delivering on global public goods ahead of 2030.
As a premier platform for China's extensive exchanges with the world, the Imperial Springs International Forum has been held annually and has remained dedicated to fostering dialogue, building consensus, and advancing cooperation.
Forum founder, Dr Chau Chak Wing said the forum was established to meet the needs of our times, emphasising that greater differences require more dialogue, greater challenges require more engagement, and that reforming global governance and safeguarding world peace remain shared priorities.
More than 30 former foreign leaders and heads of international organisations, along with representatives from political, business, and academic communities, participated in substantive exchanges, reinforcing the forum’s role as a premier platform for China’s international dialogue.
As a new wave of scientific and technological revolution accelerates amid profound geopolitical shifts, traditional and non-traditional security risks are becoming increasingly intertwined with challenges such as imbalanced global development and artificial intelligence governance that require coordinated global action.
Since its inception in 2014, the Imperial Springs International Forum has convened nine editions, bringing together more than 200 senior political figures and over 600 experts, scholars, and business leaders from China and abroad.
