Taoism offers wisdom on global issues

China will continue to support in-depth and friendly communications between Chinese and overseas Taoist communities to make contributions to promoting enduring world peace and shared prosperity, the nation's top political adviser said.

Taoism is deeply rooted in China and upholds the values of peace and inclusiveness, said Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

He made the remarks in a letter congratulating the opening of the 5th International Daoism Forum held on Maoshan Mountain, East China's Jiangsu province, and the founding of the World Federation of Daoism on Sunday.
