Ten breakthroughs of China's military diplomacy in 2014

NO.9 Xiangshan Forum was upgraded to a track-1.5 event

Event playback: The 5th Xiangshan Forum was held by the China Association for Military Sciences (CAMS) in Beijing in November 20-22, 2014. More than 300 representatives, including official delegations from 47 countries and four international organizations as well as well-known scholars, held extensive discussions and exchanges around the theme of "Win-win Cooperation: Building the Asian Community of Common Destiny".

Reason for listing: Compared with the previous four forums, this year's Xiangshan Forum was upgraded from a track-2 unofficial event for exchanges to a track-1.5 high-end security and defense forum integrating both official and unofficial features. It was the first time that the Chinese military held such a high-level multilateral security dialogue.
