Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a series of groundbreaking, comprehensive, and long-term major decisions and deployments have been made, driving the development of women’s affairs in China in the new era to achieve a series of historic accomplishments. China has also contributed to the global development of women’s causes through practical actions.
From October 13th to 14th, the Global Women’s Summit was held in Beijing. Let us revisit the warm messages for women worldwide and work together to write a new chapter in the global development of women’s affairs.
18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China
The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, held in Beijing in November 2012, was a significant political event that marked a leadership transition and set the country’s development direction. It established the Central Committee with Xi Jinping as General Secretary and promoted the “Chinese Dream” vision of national rejuvenation. The congress outlined comprehensive reforms to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
Global Women’s Summit
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
Beijing is the capital of China, with a history spanning over three millennia, and served as the imperial capital for much of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, exemplified by UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and sections of the Great Wall. Today, it functions as the nation’s political, educational, and cultural center, blending ancient architecture with modern urban development.
