Focus on cultural development and diversity

The second Forum on Building up China's Cultural Strength opened in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Thursday, hosted by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. This year's forum demonstrates the Party's commitment to securing new successes in developing socialist culture and promoting international exchanges.

The Party attaches great importance to culture. Thanks to that, the nation's cultural confidence has been elevated.

Since 2012, the awareness of the fundamental role culture plays in boosting national rejuvenation and developing a modern Chinese civilization has been greatly elevated, inspiring a flowering of cultural creativity and exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations in the spirit of openness and inclusivity.
