The official website of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations (CDAC) was officially launched on Thursday, ahead of the grand gathering of Asian countries in Beijing in May.

Available in both Chinese and English languages, the official website (http://www.2019cdac.com) will release relevant news and service information of the conference, the parallel sub-forums and the Asian Cultural Carnival.

It will also introduce activities around the conference, including Asian Civilization Parade, Asian Cultural Festival, Asian Civilization Joint Exhibition, Asian Film & TV Week, Asian Culture & Fashion Exhibition and Asian Cuisine Festival.

On the same day, the logo of the conference was also released. Its graphic is derived from a six-petal peony flower, symbolizing the six geographical divisions of Asia.

The personalized petals are like human figures holding hands, symbolizing the exchanges and dialogues between different civilizations in Asia, and Asian people working together to build a community with a shared future, while the petals' different colors reflect the colors of national flags of Asian countries, and symbolize the colorfulness of Asian civilizations.

Focusing on the theme of the exchanges and mutual learning among Asian civilizations and building a community with a shared future for mankind, the conference aims to carry forward the brilliant achievements of civilizations in Asia and the world, build a platform for mutual learning and mutual development, enhance the confidence of Asian culture, and promote cooperation and mutual trust in Asia.

The conference also aims to build a consensus for developing Asia, stimulate the vitality of innovation in Asia, and provide the spiritual support for building a community with a shared future for Asia and mankind.
