The significance and function of Silk Road Dialogue
Since President Xi Jinping proposed one belt, one road initiative. It has aroused a warm response all over the world. Not only the countries along the line, but also all corners of the world are talking about this topic. This is a contribution of Chinese wisdom to mankind. It is also China's plan to promote world cooperation and development.
With the promotion of Belt and Road initiative, dialogue and consultation become an important way of cooperation。The Silk Road Dialogue jointly initiated by all relevant units has become such a new and important channel. So it has special significance.
First, Silk Road Dialogue is the main direction. The important content of one belt, one road, is to promote the common aspiration of the people. The Silk Road Dialogue is an important bridge and link between the people.
Secondly, Silk Road Dialogue is a good tradition of Belt and Road。One belt, one road, stretches for thousands of years, and always adheres to the purpose of communication and dialogue. One belt, one road, as a bridge of friendship,we are always understanding and communicating with each other in the dialogue。It can be imagined that in those ancient times, the science and technology level of communication was very low, and how people communicated was relatively difficult. However, it is undeniable that such traditional friendship and trade channels cannot be formed without exchanges and dialogues. One belt, one road, involving so many countries, so many nationalities, so many different cultural traditions, but how can it be easy to integrate and communicate with each other and form an international trade chain? Such a fine tradition we must carry forward, there is no other choice.
Third, the silk one road dialogue meets one belt, one road's realistic need. With one belt, one road has developed to today, there are many obstacles that we can not say. So many countries, so many different cultures, in the process of mutual integration, it is inevitable that there will be collisions.In the process of collision, it is inevitable to have frictions, disputes, disputes and quarrels. One belt, one road, and one another, directly affects the relationship between different stakeholders, different cultural backgrounds, different social development goals and needs, and different social stages. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to strengthen dialogue and communication in the contemporary era. Through dialogue, we can understand each other's concerns, mutual interest needs, mutual social development goals, and each other's work policies and work plans, so as to better achieve the purpose of coordination and communication, and form a consensus and win-win basis. Therefore, one belt, one road dialogue, will play a vital role in the construction of the whole area along the way.
The form and content of Silk Road Dialogue
The silk road is rich and colorful. The Silk Road Dialogue should also be colorful.
The Silk Road Dialogue should first be a strategic one. Each country has its own social development strategy. There are many things in common between these strategies. The docking between strategies is a kind of strategic cooperation. If one belt, one road is a strategic initiative, the development strategy among countries can be jointly expanded. At the same time, we can see that the commonality and individuality of the economic and social development strategies of all countries depend on the common development goals of the human community. If these goals are consistent, they are joint forces, otherwise, they may be human disasters.
Secondly, the Silk Road Dialogue should be a dialogue between elites. The elite represent the ideological essence of the countries along the silk road. They are mouthpiece, spokesperson and interest representative. Therefore, the Silk Road dialogue should be targeted to organize targeted exchanges and dialogues between elites from all walks of life. For example, the dialogue between think tanks, education, finance and energy. As one belt, one road construction attaches great importance to the interconnection of infrastructure, the dialogue on infrastructure construction, transportation and dialogue, and communication industry are all very important. We should be good at organizing outstanding talents with level, level, thinking and representativeness in all walks of life to form a good dialogue channel and mechanism.
Third, the Silk Road dialogue should pay special attention to the people's dialogue. Strengthening people to people exchanges is the content that silk road dialogue must attach great importance to, for example, the exchange of education, art, culture, etc. The countries along the silk road have rich and colorful cultural civilization, lasting for thousands of years, and each has its own advantages. One belt, one road, is the most important part of the development of the culture. The broad masses of the people, in different ways of life and cultural ways, have promoted their respective civilizations. In this process, they have formed their own unique advantages, and they have embraced each other and promoted each other, forming a harmonious cultural development. In the good prospect of the whole area, we should further strengthen communication and cooperation in the hearts of the people, and form further, more. Through the mutual exchange and learning of civilizations, a better and higher-level civilization state and system can be formed. Let more and more people learn from each other, understand, and be friendly, so as to form a human family and a community of shared destiny.
Based on the rich content of the above Silk Road Dialogue, we can take various forms to promote it. For example, the dialogue between representative cities, the dialogue between representatives of the same industry, as well as the characteristic and targeted dialogue, forum, exchange meeting, seminar, visit meeting, etc. In terms of form, it should be flexible, colorful, continuous and persistent.
The future and development of Silk Road Dialogue.
The Silk Road Dialogue not only has a long history, but also is a new thing. Therefore, its development and expansion should be the result of our joint efforts.
In the process of the development of the Silk Road dialogue, we should first and foremost expand its influence, let more and more people know this dialogue, participate in this dialogue, and turn this dialogue into a topic of common concern.
Secondly, more leaders should attach importance to this dialogue and regard the bridge, link and platform provided by the dialogue as a powerful driving force to promote the development of all countries, and an important means of personnel training, quality improvement and friendly cooperation in the social and economic development of all countries.
At the same time, we should constantly expand the content, enrich the form, improve and refine in the process of implementation, and constantly form greater social influence in the process of promotion.
This requires that we must strengthen the intervention and publicity of the news media, through the power of the media, especially the power of the modern science and technology media, so that the content of the dialogue can be more widely spread and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We should use better high-tech means, such as film and television, micro blog, and other ways to deepen this dialogue into the hearts of all countries.
In short, Silk Road Dialogue will let us see the bright future of mankind and see the future of the whole area. We can see that the results of our efforts will bring us the great fruits that we deserve. These achievements will not only benefit us, but also benefit our later generations, which will not only benefit our countries along the Silk Road, but also benefit all mankind.
I sincerely wish that the Silk Road dialogue will be better, more successful and more influential.
