On the morning of May 27, 2025, the Tengchong Scientists Forum Center in Yunnan Province and the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony in Beijing. This marks the first time the Tengchong Scientists Forum has partnered with a national-level comprehensive media organization dedicated to international outreach, signaling that its internationalization strategy has entered a critical phase of full-scale implementation. Du Zhan Yuan, Director of the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration, and Gu Binglin, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, former President of Tsinghua University, and Chairman of the Tengchong Scientists Forum, attended the event in person to extend their congratulations and discuss the new chapter of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between the two parties.

Prior to the signing ceremony, Director Du Zhan Yuan met with Academician Gu Binglin and held a discussion with the forum center delegation. Du Zhan Yuan first expressed his highest respect for Academicians Gu Bing Lin, Xu Zhi Hong, and Rao Zi He for their dedication to the people of Yunnan and their commitment to scientific and technological development, which led to the establishment of the forum. He also highly praised the forum for consistently upholding the “Spirit of the Southwest United University,” adhering to the principle of “Science and Technology Leading the Future,” and striving to build a leading domestic and world-class forum through practical efforts and meticulous attention to detail. He pointed out that the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration bears the important media responsibility of shaping a respectable, lovable, and trustworthy image of China, comprehensively reflecting China's long history and culture, and authentically showcasing the new progress and achievements of China's reform and opening-up. Today, the implementation of comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two sides will play an important role in promoting the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, advancing scientific and technological openness and cooperation, enhancing the level of scientific and technological publicity, strengthening the construction and promotion of China's scientific and technological brand, and improving the quality of China's media outreach. The China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration is willing to collaborate closely with the Tengchong Scientists Forum, fully leveraging its existing diverse and multi-dimensional external publicity channels and platforms, including books, journals, and online platforms, to vividly showcase the spirit and achievements of Chinese scientists to the world and authentically present China's great scientific innovations and outstanding contributions.

Academician Gu Binglin, on behalf of Academicians Xu Zhihong and Rao Zhihe, as well as the Tengchong Scientists Forum Center in Yunnan Province, expressed gratitude to the Foreign Languages Press for its support and sincerely invited the Foreign Languages Press and Director Du Zhan Yuan to participate in this year's forum activities. Academician Gu Binglin stated that this collaboration between the two parties is not only a meeting of kindred spirits across mountains and seas but also a resonance of shared missions rooted in common aspirations. Through the Foreign Languages Press's powerful international communication network, the forum will certainly establish a broader platform for scientific and technological cooperation, promote the global integration of science and technology innovation with industry, facilitate the conversion of research outcomes into practical applications, and drive regional development. This will enable the innovative stories of the Tengchong Scientists' Forum, the ambitious tales of Yunnan's development, and the narratives of Chinese scientists with a global vision to resonate across every corner of the world. At the same time, he expressed his hope that the collaboration between the forum and the Foreign Languages Press will achieve mutual empowerment, enabling renowned publications such as Today's China to serve as a “golden bridge” for Yunnan's traditional industries and unique culture to go global, while also allowing the Foreign Languages Press's mission and responsibility to shine even brighter in the land of colorful clouds.
