Introduction of the Theme 2 Communist Party of China ( CPC ) has gone through magnificent journey and surged forward with great momentum for 100 years till 2021. Therefore, Taihu World Cultural Forum will hold the Sixth Annual Conference with the theme of “Mutual Learning Among Civilizations : Jointly Building A Community of Shared Future for Mankind” as a gift to CPC and the country. With the overlapping of the pandemic and global changes unseen in a century, the combination of accelerated evolution of world pattern, in-depth adjustment of political, economic, scientific and technological, cultural and security pattern in the international arena, lower global economic growth, the rise of unilateralism and protectionism and continuously growing traditional and non-traditional threats translates into ever-increasing uncertainties and unstable factors in the international situation. However, peace and development are still the themes of our times where world multi-polarization, economic globalization, social informatization and cultural diversity are kept as irreversible trends of the times; where the momentum of all countries to seek for opening up and cooperation is still unchanged; where the concept on green development is deeply rooted among people; and where people around the world better recognize that the whole world is an indivisible community of shared future. President Xi Jinping put forward in the World Economic Forum Virtual Event of the Davos Agenda that we have to uphold the concept of a community of shared future for mankind, insist on the common values of humanity, i.e. peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, rise above ideological prejudice and jointly safeguard world 3 peace and stability. Culture can always feel the changes of the national fate, set up the trends of the times and become the forerunner of the era in every major historic significant historical moment. Therefore, in the face of emerging global challenges, different countries and regions are required to be committed to the further promotion of cultural communications based on equality and mutual respect, to make full use of the unique role of culture in enhancing people-to-people communications and uniting everyone, to replace contradictions among countries and conflicts among civilizations with mutual learning, to deliver the concept of a community of shared future for mankind to the world and to offer important support for us to jointly respond to challenges and safeguard peace and development. The Sixth Annual Conference will invite Chinese and foreign politicians, experts and scholars, representatives from international organizations, enterprise pioneers and media friends to conduct equal exchanges around the theme from the perspectives of culture, politics, economy, society, ecology, science and technology, health, etc. so as to make contributions to further promoting mutual learning among civilizations and cultural diversity of the world, enhancing China and international community to seek for greatest general consensus in cultural memory and understandings, building a community of shared future for mankind and strengthening world peace, prosperity and sustainable development.
