Since 2015, the Xiangshan Forum has been co-hosted by CAMS and the China Institute of International Strategic Studies (CIISS). The forum is committed to the idea of equality, openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning. Its participants discuss the development of the geopolitical situation and new challenges and threats, and call for an equal dialogue, mutually beneficial cooperation, shared security, an expanded consensus and the promotion of peace and stability.
