The construction of a community of shared future for mankind must be pursued simultaneously from the economic, political, cultural and ecological dimensions, but cultural power is undoubtedly the more fundamental, far-reaching and pervasive power. Only when all countries and peoples reach a consensus on values and realize a commonality of hearts and minds can a community of shared future for mankind be expected. And reaching a consensus on values and connecting hearts and minds must be achieved through exchanges and mutual appreciation among civilizations. Countries should respect and maintain the diversity of world civilizations, adhere to the concept of common development of harmony and diversity and inclusion, follow the world trend of cultural diversity, promote dialogue among civilizations on an equal footing, continuously expand the convergence of common interests, and form the spirit of cooperation and co-prosperity, which is "unity and mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit, tolerance and mutual appreciation, and win-win cooperation, so that countries of different races, faiths and cultural backgrounds can share peace and develop together", and provide value leadership and practical support for the construction of a Community of shared future for mankind in the new era.
