Global Civilization Initiative (GCI)
The futures of all countries are now closely connected, so tolerance, coexistence, exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations have been playing an even more important role in advancing modernization and enabling human civilizations to thrive. In March 2023, Xi Jinping introduced the "Global Civilization Initiative" at the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting, expressing the sincere desire of the Communist Party of China to work with political parties in other countries to promote the modernization cause with national characteristics, promote exchange and mutual learning among all civilizations, and promote the construction of a global community of shared future.
The Global Civilization Initiative focuses on "common advocates": joint advocacy for respect for the diversity of civilizations, advocacy for the common values of humanity, advocacy for the importance of inheritance and innovation of civilizations, and advocacy for robust international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation. GCI upholds the principles of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness and promotes the common values of humanity. Cultural exchange must overpower estrangement, mutual learning must come before clashes, and coexistence must overcome feelings of superiority. Countries should be encouraged to push for creative transformation and innovative development of their fine traditional cultures and promote mutual understanding and friendship among people of all countries to jointly advance the progress of human civilizations.
The Global Civilization Initiative is another important public product China is providing to the international community in the new era, following the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative. It offers Chinese solutions that promote world modernization and forward progress of human civilization.
全球文明倡议
在各国前途命运紧密相连的今天，不同文明包容共存、交流互鉴，在推动人类社会现代化进程、繁荣世界文明百花园中具有不可替代的作用。2023年3月，习近平在中国共产党与世界政党高层对话会上提出“全球文明倡议”，表达了中国共产党愿同各国政党一道，推进具有本国特色的现代化事业、促进全球文明交流互鉴、推动构建人类命运共同体的真诚愿望。
全球文明倡议以四个“共同倡导”为核心内涵，即共同倡导尊重世界文明多样性、共同倡导弘扬全人类共同价值、共同倡导重视文明传承和创新、共同倡导加强国际人文交流合作。这一倡议秉持平等、互鉴、对话、包容的文明观，倡导弘扬全人类共同价值，主张以文明交流超越文明隔阂、文明互鉴超越文明冲突、文明包容超越文明优越，推动各国优秀传统文化在现代化进程中实现创造性转化、创新性发展，促进各国人民相知相亲，共同推动人类文明发展进步。
全球文明倡议是继全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议后，新时代中国为国际社会提供的又一重要公共产品，为推动世界现代化进程、促进人类文明进步提供了中国方案。
