From December 2^nd to 8^th, the 5^th World Media Summit was held in Guangzhou and Kunming. Nearly 200 representatives from over 100 countries and regions, including media, think tanks, and international organizations, attended the summit. This is the first time that the summit has been held in Chinese cities other than Beijing since its establishment, which are Guangzhou and Kunming.

Why them?

Guangzhou, the southern gateway of China, is the only major port that has thrived for over 2000 years in the global maritime trade. As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road over 1000 years ago, it is one of the central cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and also the capital city of Guangdong Province, the biggest provincial economy in China.

Kunming, located on the southwestern border of China, is connected to multiple countries through the mountains and rivers of Yunnan Province where it is located. Over 2,000 years ago, the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" in Yunnan shows the once prosperous Southern Silk Road through the faint imprints of horseshoes on the road.

What are the topics discussed at the summit?

From the topics set at the summit, the theme of this year's World Media Summit is "Boosting Global Confidence and Promoting Media Development". During the summit in Guangzhou, participants discussed common concerns such as human development and security, new technological opportunities and challenges, and media and markets in the new era. At Yunnan, the organizers welcomed media friends and guests from various countries to experience the "Yunnan lifestyle." Inside and outside the venue, Chinese stories of coexistence and protection between humans and nature are shared: the Asian elephants' migration and the ancient Pu'er tea forest of thousands of years in Jingmai Mountain joining the World Heritage List.

From the perspective of the summit's achievements, the organizers released the "Fifth World Media Summit Guangzhou Nansha Consensus" (hereinafter "Nansha Consensus"), and the "Kunming Initiative for the 5th World Media Summit" (hereinafter "Kunming Initiative").

From human development and security to ecological civilization and sustainable development, the "Nansha Consensus" and the "Kunming Initiative" are all calling for global media to enhance understanding, deepen friendship, build consensus, and promote global media cooperation in addressing challenges.

What do they see?

In Guangzhou, guests visited the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Guangzhou Foreign Language School (Nansha Campus) and the GAC Technology Museum to experience the vitality of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The "newness" and "heart" of a city leave a deep impression on the guests. In the sub-venue in Kunming, Yunnan, we saw Pu'er tea, a wall of flowers and cups of Yunnan Baoshan small grain coffee from the known reports, showing the charm of Kunming from another angle.

These are a microcosm of a progressing China. China has always been diverse and colorful. Ancient civilization, cutting-edge technology, bustling cities and tranquil rainforests coexist in China.

As mentioned in the "Nansha Consensus", the world is undergoing rapid changes and facing unprecedented challenges, with increasing uncertainties and unpredictable factors. The international community needs to strengthen unity and cooperation more than ever before. Global media should serve as a bridge for answering the questions of the world, the era, and history.

从广州到昆明，世界媒体大咖看见一个行进中的中国

12月2日至8日，第五届世界媒体峰会在广州、昆明举行。来自全球100多个国家和地区的近200家媒体、智库、国际组织等机构的450名代表出席。这是峰会机制成立以来，首次在北京以外的中国城市举办，也是首次选择了广州与昆明两座城市。

为什么是这两座城市？

广州，中国的南大门，是世界海上交通史上唯一2000多年长盛不衰的大港，是1000年前海上丝绸之路的起点，是中国第一经济大省广东省的省会，也是粤港澳大湾区中心城市之一。

昆明，地处中国西南边陲。它所在的云南省与多个国家山水相连。2000多年前，“茶马古道”在马蹄模糊的印记里诉说着南方丝绸之路曾经的通达。

他们在会场讨论什么？

从会场设置的议题来看，本次世界媒体峰会的主题是“提振全球信心 共促媒体发展”。在广州期间，与会嘉宾围绕人类发展与安全、新技术机遇与挑战、新时代媒体与市场等共同关心的议题深入探讨。在云南分会场，主办方欢迎远道而来的各国媒体朋友和嘉宾走进“有一种叫云南的生活”，在会场内外，讲述亚洲象北上南归、延续千年的普洱景迈山古茶林申遗成功，人与自然相生相伴、保护与馈赠的中国故事。

从会议成果来看，峰会举行期间，主办方在广州发布了《第五届世界媒体峰会广州南沙共识》（以下简称“南沙共识”），在昆明的分会场则通过了《第五届世界媒体峰会昆明倡议》（以下简称“昆明倡议”）。

从关注人类发展与安全，到倡导关注生态文明建设和可持续发展，“南沙共识”或是“昆明倡议”，无一不是在呼吁全球媒体应通过增进了解，深化友谊，凝聚共识，推动全球媒体合作应对挑战。

他们看见什么？

在广州，与会嘉宾在前往香港科技大学（广州）、广州外国语学校（南沙校区）以及广汽科技馆等地感受今日大湾区的活力。一座城市的“新”与“心”，在嘉宾心中留下印记。在云南昆明的分会场，从已知的报道中，我们看见会场内一饼饼摆放整齐的普洱茶、一片片锦簇的鲜花墙和一杯杯云南保山小粒咖啡，这是昆明这座城市的其中一面。

这些点滴，正是一个行进中的中国缩影。中国从来是多元的、立体的、丰富的。它既有古老的文明，也拥有崭新的科技；它既有繁华的都市，也有静寂的雨林。

正如“南沙共识”里提到的那样，当今世界百年变局加速演进，不确定难预料因素增多，人类社会面临前所未有的挑战，国际社会比以往任何时候都更需要加强团结合作。全球媒体应当为回答世界之问、时代之问、历史之问架设沟通的桥梁。
