THE 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum kicked off on Sunday. As one of the most representative security forums in the world, it was held face-to-face again after four years and was highly anticipated by all parties. This is evident by the record number and level of representatives. In particular, a large number of representatives from developing countries attended the meeting, as well as representatives from conflicting parties, such as Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Arab countries.

Against the background of constant conflicts and wars in various places and the turbulent international situation, it is obvious that all parties are here for security and peace. This shows that China's Global Security Initiative has been recognized and supported by more and more countries. This is also the essence of the theme of this year's Xiangshan Forum 'Common Security and Lasting Peace.'
