Participants discussed the development of Asian civilizations and win-win cooperation among Asian countries, reached broad consensus, and released the 2019 Beijing Consensus of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations. It included 26 practical measures and cooperation outcomes in four major categories to promote exchange and mutual learning among civilizations.
President Xi attended the opening ceremony of the CDAC and delivered a keynote speech titled "Deepening Exchange and Mutual Learning Among Civilizations for an Asian Community with a Shared Future," in which he made the following proposals: to respect each other and treat each other as equals, to appreciate the culture and values of others as one does one's own, to stay open and inclusive and draw on each other's strengths, and to advance with the times and explore new ground in development. These compose a Chinese solution that would lay a solid cultural foundation for building a community of shared future in Asia and in the rest of the world.
