The fifth annual conference of World Cultural Forum (Taihu, China) in Beijing, the capital city of China on October 17-19, 2018, with the theme of “Dialogue of Civilizations: Building a Community of Shared Future for Mankind”. The conference is supported by the Chinese Ministry of Culture, China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Beijing Municipal People’s Government and Counselors’ Office of the State Council, and sponsored by World Cultural Forum (Taihu, China) and Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs. World Cultural Forum (Taihu, China) is a high-level, non-governmental international cultural forum. It is also the only national non-governmental organization named after a forum and registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. With an executive board based in Beijing, the forum, since its initiation, has successfully held four annual conferences - in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Macao, respectively - along with a number of important meetings and events at home and abroad. Chinese and foreign dignitaries attended and made speeches. Among the VIPs and speakers are current and former heads of state, including Congolese President Denis Sassou-Nguesso, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, and Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. All previous activities have attracted the attention, support and active participation of people from all walks of life both at home and abroad. Guests from five continents, over 60 countries and regions, attended the conferences. There is no shortage of uncertainties and instability in today’s world. Neither is there any civilization that can alone address the many challenges facing mankind. Peace and development are the common will of people across the globe. For building an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity, culture is expected to shoulder a fundamental, historical, overarching, strategic responsibility in the long run. This year’s conference will, therefore, bring together hundreds of academic, commercial and political elites around a theme that has everything to do with “a community of shared future for mankind”. It aims to contribute collective wisdom to the development of “universal civilization”. Considering your remarkable achievements in relevant fields, we sincerely hope you can take time out of your tight schedule to attend and, if possible, address the conference. As a speaker, you will be better placed to unreservedly share your insights and pinpoint cultural differences. Intercultural communication as such will help to enhance mutual understanding and expand common grounds, setting the stage for the dialogue and cooperation of civilizations.
