Dunhuang Declaration
At the summit meeting of the first DCE in September 2016, countries along the Silk Road reached consensus on further strengthening cultural exchanges and cooperation and collectively issued the Dunhuang Declaration.
The Dunhuang Declaration is based on the principle of "promoting cultural exchanges and seeking cooperative development". It reviewed the fruitful achievements of the peoples of the Eurasian continent since blazing the Silk Road as a path of friendship, praised the Silk Road Spirit of "unity and mutual trust, equality and mutual benefits, inclusiveness and mutual learning, and win-win cooperation", affirmed that Dunhuang culture exemplifies the exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, and emphasized determination to deepen cultural exchanges and jointly build the Belt and Road. The Declaration also reached four points of consensus to strengthen cultural exchanges and cooperation: 1. Adhere to cultural diversity, equality, and inclusiveness; 2. Protect and inherit the historical and cultural heritage of all countries; 3. Strengthen cultural dialogue and cooperation at all levels; 4. Promote cultural trade and cooperation in the cultural industry.
After the announcement of the Dunhuang Declaration, a collaborative work plan was made that included organization of high-level forums in countries along the Silk Road, scheduling of intergovernmental high-level cultural dialogues, negotiation of an intergovernmental cultural cooperation framework, and formulation of an action plan. Institutional arrangements will be made to promote sustained, efficient intergovernmental cultural dialogue. Moreover, efforts will be made to expand exchanges among civil societies, academia, and think tanks, and carry out cooperation and exchanges in fields such as literature, arts, news, broadcasting, and film as well as humanities and social sciences. Various cultural activities with distinct themes and characteristics will be organized to jointly advance major cooperation projects. The implementation of the Dunhuang Declaration will undoubtedly promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning among all the cultures along the Silk Road.
