He advocated adhering to the concept of "harmony between man and nature" and "harmonious development" as well as establishing a multipolar and diversified new world order through dialogue. He pointed out that national development must first achieve identity and respect the ancient wisdom of the same line, which will provide long-term impetus for development.

The participants responded to the theme of "Millennium Culture in the Present Age" and expounded on various topics. These include promoting dialogues and mutual understanding among civilizations, strengthening cultural relic protection, enhancing the influence of the forum and cooperating with UNESCO. Everyone unanimously signed and adopted the Tiwanaku Declaration.

The declaration advocates for the establishment of a normalized dialogue and cultural cooperation platform to strengthen civil dialogues and publicity for forum-related activities to expand its influence and consolidate the foundations of a multipolar and multicultural world. After a unanimous vote, Armenia officially became a new member of the forum.

The Ancient Civilizations Forum was jointly initiated by China and Greece, inviting countries with original cultural characteristics to participate. Through dialogue and exchanges, the forum aims to revitalize historical civilizations and traditions in the development of contemporary society and to play a positive role in promoting mutual understanding and tolerance among different civilizations, races and religions. The first forum was held in Athens, Greece, in April 2017.
