Guests visit the cultural creativity exhibition area of the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum in September.
Launched in 2022, the forum, with a permanent theme of “Inheritance, Creativity, Mutual Learning”, has evolved into a pivotal platform for Beijing's development in the new era, emphasizing international engagement.
This year's edition adopted “Integrated Development of Culture and Technology” as its annual theme, featuring an opening ceremony, six parallel forums, and more than 20 professional salons.
Nearly 800 guests from 58 countries and regions converged in China's capital for the two-day event. They included renowned experts, scholars, cultural figures, and industry leaders, all gathering to engage in in-depth discussions and exchange ideas.
At the opening ceremony, Yin Li, Party secretary of Beijing, highlighted that new cultural business forms, such as internet culture, entertainment, gaming and animation, generated nearly 1.6 trillion yuan ($225 billion) in revenue in 2024, energizing the city's sectors.
Former French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin emphasized that culture transcends bilateral relations and must be advanced within a multilateral framework.
