Hu Chunhua, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Imperial Springs International Forum in Madrid on Thursday, calling for joint efforts to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Hu read a congratulatory letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.

In his congratulatory letter, Xi gave full recognition to the forum's positive role in enhancing exchanges and understanding between China and other countries, and provided clear guidance on using the forum as a platform to further build international consensus and advance a community with a shared future for mankind, said Hu.

Amid accelerating global changes unseen in a century, China will remain a champion of peace, stability and progress, while promoting high-level opening-up, Hu said.

He called on visionary people across the world to actively engage with the forum, strengthen friendships, promote cooperation, and contribute their wisdom and efforts to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

During his stay in Spain, Hu also attended a group meeting with Spanish King Felipe VI, and met with First Vice President of the Senate of Spain Javier Maroto and others.

ROK president calls for learning lesson from anti-aggression history

The Republic of Korea (ROK) and China should cherish the historical experience of jointly resisting aggression and continue to work together for a prosperous future, said ROK President Lee Jae Myung.

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lee will pay a state visit to China from Jan 4 to 7. It will be Lee's first visit to China since he took office last year.

In an interview with China Media Group (CMG) in Seoul on Wednesday, Lee said that humanity must learn from the past to prevent the tragedy of war from repeating itself.

"While pursuing their own national interests to the fullest extent, countries must not harm the national interests of others, but should coexist peacefully. The act of invading other countries and massacring their people for one's own benefit must never be repeated. History of humanity often repeats itself, therefore we must learn from the past. In this regard, I believe the historical experience of ROK and China in resisting aggression and fighting together is invaluable. Of course, while historical experience is important, we cannot remain stuck in the past. For a better future for the people of both countries, we need to continuously explore possibilities for working together towards the future," said the president.
