Wang Dong, Deputy Director of Office of Humanities and Social Science, Peking University, professor at the School of International Studies, Peking University and Executive Director of the Institute for Global Cooperation and Understanding, Peking University,was invited to attend the first sub-forum and delivered a speech themed “Multilateralism”. He dissected the connotations of multilateralism from the perspective of China. He emphasized that one of the objectives of China's multilateral diplomacy is to maintain the existing international rules and international order centered on the UN Charter and international laws, to promote reform of the international system and global governance and increase the voice of emerging economies and developing countries.
As one of the important peripheral meetings of the G20 Summit, T20 is an important platform for representatives from global think tanks to contribute their wisdom and ideas to the G20. The forum provides an important opportunity for national think tanks, NGOs and other institutions to strengthen communication and provide solutions to crisis, promote constructive cooperation to bring a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient development path for the world.
