On June 17, 2025, Suo Long, Deputy Director of the Secretariat of the Beijing NGO Association for International Exchanges, and his delegation visited the BUCF. The two sides had in-depth and close exchanges on serving members and deepening cooperation, aiming to promote the coordinated development of civil society organizations and help the capital's civil diplomacy and public welfare undertakings reach a new level.
As a non-profit social organization jointly initiated by social organizations and individuals with the ability to carry out international exchanges and project cooperation in various fields of the city, and committed to promoting international exchanges among non-governmental organizations, the Beijing NGO Association for International Exchanges (NGO) occupies an important position on the international stage. Not only does it hold special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and observer status under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, but it is also one of the Chinese initiators of the International Civilian Poverty Reduction Cooperation Network. For a long time, the Beijing Promotion Association has actively spoken out in various fields such as economy, science and technology, education, culture, and health, and frequently participated in United Nations conferences, contributing to the overall diplomacy of the country, supporting the development of the capital in the new era, and promoting people to people exchanges in the capital.
At this exchange meeting, Deputy Director Suolong emphasized that 2025, as the final year of the 14th Five Year Plan, is also a crucial year to lay a solid foundation for a good start to the 15th Five Year Plan. Under the strong leadership of the China Promotion Association and the Municipal Political Consultative Conference Party Group, the NGO will adhere to political guidance, highlight the characteristics of the people, fully coordinate the advantageous resources of the capital's people to people diplomacy, and make every effort to promote the improvement of work quality and efficiency, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of the capital's people to people diplomacy in the new era. At the same time, the NGO will actively coordinate and participate in member unit activities, strengthen resource sharing, fully leverage organizational and member service functions, and assist charitable organizations in the capital to play a greater role in the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region.
Both parties had comprehensive and in-depth discussions on cooperation matters at the meeting. The BUCF has expressed a strong willingness to actively promote public welfare achievements through the United Nations platform, and hopes to work together with the NGO to enhance the international influence of Chinese social organizations. In addition, both sides had detailed discussions on social organization services and exchanges under the cooperation framework of the Beijing–Inner Mongolia Political Consultative Conference. They unanimously emphasized the need to fully utilize the political consultative conference platform to achieve resource sharing and project implementation, strengthen close cooperation with the political consultative conference through public submission and content enrichment, and promote the steady implementation of various cooperation plans. At the end of the communication, Deputy Director Suolong, on behalf of the Beijing Promotion Association, once again expressed a firm willingness to deepen cooperation and serve members.
The successful holding of this exchange conference has laid a solid foundation for the future deep cooperation between the NGO for the Promotion of International Exchange of Civil Organizations and the BUCF. In the future, both sides are expected to generate new ideas together in the fields of civil diplomacy, public welfare undertakings, and contribute greater strength to social development.
