Get ready for a major diplomatic moment! The 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum will kick off in the Chinese capital from September 17 to 19, bringing together global leaders to tackle pressing security challenges. Announced by defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang, this year’s theme—‘Upholding International Order and Promoting Peaceful Development’—is straight out of a global peacemaker’s playbook. 🕊️
Think of it as the Coachella of diplomacy—but instead of music, expect high-stakes talks on everything from conflict resolution to sustainable security frameworks. The forum promises ‘constructive dialogue grounded in equality and diversity,’ aiming to bridge divides and build trust among nations. 🌐
With tensions rising in hotspots worldwide, the event could be a rare chance for leaders to swap strategies over tea (or WeChat messages) instead of headlines. As Zhang put it, the goal is to ‘pool collective wisdom’—a vibe we can all get behind. Will this be the start of a safer, cooler planet? Stay tuned. ✨
