Build people-to-people diplomacy brands to expand global reach. People-to-people diplomacy brands help build international consensus, facilitates exchanges of ideas, breaks down stereotypes and creates common ground. Over the past five years,the Understanding and Cooperation Dialogue launched in 2012 has extended its footprint to Germany, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, France and other countries. This platform has effectively improved the overall outcomes of foreign exchanges and become a flagship event of peopleto-people diplomacy with a global reach. Launched in 2014, the China-US-Europe Young Leaders Exchanges Program, by offering the opportunity of working together and reaping benefits, has attracted young political leaders and outstanding youth from all walks of life in the US and Europe. The China-Japan Young Leaders Exchange Program has seen its reach extended and played a positive role in enhancing friendly people-to-people exchanges between China and Japan. CAFIU made full use of its special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. It sent representatives to attend NGO conferences and events relating to the UN on multiple occasions,took an active part in multilateral events on human rights, sustainable development and climate change within the UN system, and made China's voice heard in the international and multilateral fora.

It has become an important element in the effort to enhance mutual understanding, promoting concrete cooperation and improving public opinion for friendship between China and other countries. Going forward, CAFIU, building on the momentum of the establishment of the 12th Council, will continue to follow the guidance of the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, build a high-level platform for dialogue among civilizations, thus making an active contribution to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
