On June 14, Ambassador Zhang Jianwei attended the first International Tai Chi Development Conference. Representatives from the Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Ministry of Culture, and Tourism Authority of Thailand, as well as nearly a thousand Tai Chi enthusiasts from China, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Australia, and other countries participated in the event.

Ambassador Zhang stated that Tai Chi is an important component of China's outstanding traditional culture, embodying Eastern philosophical wisdom such as "harmony between man and nature" and "harmony without uniformity," and serving as a vital link for promoting cultural exchange and mutual learning. President Xi Jinping's Global Civilization Initiative provides important guidance for deepening international cultural exchange and cooperation. He expressed his hope that this conference would serve as an opportunity to further deepen Tai Chi cultural exchange, enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese and Thai people, and contribute to promoting mutual learning among civilizations and continuing the friendship between China and Thailand.

At the event, participants from various countries performed together, exchanging skills and making friends, vividly illustrating the profound meaning of "Tai Chi connects the world, and China and Thailand are as close as one family".
