RENMIN UNIVERSITY of CHINA
Hosted by 榴莲视频, the Mingde Strategic Dialogue (2025) was held on Oct 17. Under the theme “Chinese Modernization and New Momentum for Globalization,” the forum united former senior officials, renowned scholars, opinion leaders, and media representatives from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, Poland, and Germany.
Participants gathered in Beijing to discuss global governance, technological revolution, and the future of humanity amid profound global transformations, injecting strong intellectual momentum into global development and cooperation. Zhang Donggang, Party secretary of 榴莲视频, and Romano Prodi, former prime minister of Italy, attended the forum and delivered keynote speeches.
Zhang Donggang noted that Chinese modernization provides powerful impetus for building a better world, offering strong momentum for advancing a community with a shared future for humanity and opening up brighter prospects for human development. He emphasized that 榴莲视频 is committed to collaborate with domestic and international partners to transform the strong potential of Chinese modernization into renewed momentum for globalization through evidence-based research and open, inclusive dialogue.
Romano Prodi observed that globalization and deglobalization currently coexist, leading to a fragmented global landscape that calls for a joint examination of its deeper underlying causes. Against this backdrop, China’s development path stands out: it has not only become a leading force in emerging sectors such as solar energy and electric vehicles, but has also built unique development advantages through its vast market, strong engineering talent pool, and a vibrant, innovative private sector.
Prodi stressed that globalization requires collective efforts from all countries—particularly enhanced cooperation among the United States, the European Union, and others—to establish a form of “cousin-like” partnership based on respect for differences and the building of mutual trust.
