Organizers held the 2018 NGO Beijing International Dialogue event from October 21-22 on the theme of "Belt and Road Initiative Cooperation with People's Livelihood".
As part of the event, a sub-forum on Women and People's Livelihood was held for the first time. Beijing Women's Federation (BWF) guided the organization and Beijing Women's International Center hosted the sub-forum.
Those taking part included delegates from women's federations, women's social organizations and enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin municipalities and north China's Hebei Province, along with representatives from 17 countries.
BWF Vice President Zhao Haiying presided over the sub-forum and introduced its background.
Cai Shumin, President of BWF, said in her opening address, "BWF has been long committed to improving women and children's livelihoods together with over 2,000 NGOs in China. The goal of this sub-forum is to build a platform for all NGOs to exchange and discuss their unique role in regard to promoting women's well-being."
"We expect all delegates to use this opportunity to establish a global NGO cooperative mechanism in respect of strengthening connections, driving resource sharing and promoting exchange and cooperation to collectively improve all women's livelihood and well-being," Cai said.
The sub-forum enabled delegates to exchange experience and achieve pragmatic cooperation. Many projects have been signed and fruitful results have been achieved at this forum. These include:
Under the initiative of BWF, Beijing Women and Children Development Foundation and Beijing Women's International Center signed a cooperative agreement to establish a special fund for women's foreign exchanges named Mulan Power and accepted the first donation from enterprises and charitable individuals. BWF and Korea-China Friendship Association of Culture & Economy signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation between the two countries.
Beijing Women's International Center and the China-Islam Finance Club signed an agreement to establish the development and cooperative mechanism for women in Belt and Road countries.
The organizer spoke highly of the achievements made at the forum. Liu Yuhong, vice president of Beijing People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said that forum helped attendees share experiences, reach consensuses, and gather strength to face the future.
It provided a guarantee for the common development of women's causes in different countries and established a long-term mechanism through a series of achievements.
