To strengthen ideological and cultural exchanges between nations, to give full play to the connecting role of Sinologists, and to establish dialogue mechanisms between Sinologists, academics, institutions, and Chinese academics, the goal is to promote greater cooperation among Sinologists worldwide and to enhance the mutual exchange of knowledge between Chinese culture and other cultures.
