Chen Shi, deputy editor-in-chief of China International Communications Group (CICG) and director of the China Center for International Communication Development (CCICD) under CICG, said in her speech that exchange, dialogue, and mutual learning among youths from different countries, ethnic groups, and cultures are conducive to eliminating misunderstanding and jointly building a beautiful and colorful world.

Chen said she hopes that international youths would learn more about China in the new era with an open mind, become young envoys for friendships between China and other countries, and take the initiative to contribute more to a better world with a global vision.

The dialogue was co-organized by the CCICD, Beijing Language and Culture University, and the international cooperation department of the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC (National Academy of Governance).
