President Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony of the Global Women’s Summit and deliver a keynote speech.

The Global Women’s Summit is a major international conference dedicated to advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. While not a single historical site, its history is rooted in the broader global women’s movement, evolving from earlier international conferences like the UN’s 1975 World Conference on Women in Mexico City. These summits serve as a platform for leaders, activists, and organizations to share strategies, build networks, and drive progress on critical issues affecting women worldwide.

Beijing is the capital of China, with a history spanning over three millennia, and it served as the imperial capital for much of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The city is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, including iconic landmarks like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Temple of Heaven, which reflect its historical significance as a political and cultural center. Today, Beijing stands as a modern global metropolis while preserving its ancient traditions and architectural marvels.
