International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations 2026; June 10th.

FORUM: "Exploring New Pathways for Dialogue Among Civilizations And Jointly Writing New Chapters for Global Governance" International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations 2026. On 7 June 2024, the General Assembly unanimously adopted resolution A/RES/78/286, with co-sponsorship by over 80 member states, declaring June 10th as International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations. It invites all Member States and organizations of the UN system, as well as other international and regional organizations and other relevant stakeholders to commemorate the International Day, to raise awareness of the value of the diversity of civilizations and promote dialogue, mutual respect, tolerance and global solidarity. The world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation, marked by a growing array of crises and challenges. Deficits in global governance are deepening. Misunderstanding and mistrust increasingly turn differences into disputes. In the absence of constructive, good-faith dialogue, consensus remains elusive while risks of conflicts heightened. Against this backdrop, dialogue among civilizations has assumed unprecedented importance. The International Day offers a timely and valuable opportunity to promote mutual understanding, strengthen mutual trust, and highlight the indispensable role of such dialogue in making global governance more just and equitable. Last June, the first International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations has brought together hundreds of participants in constructive, inspiring interactions. This year, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations, it is important to build on the strong momentum of dialogue, as part of our collective efforts to reaffirm the common values of humanity and provide greater stability and certainty to a rapidly-changing world. In order to implement Resolution A/RES/78/286, the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations, in partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), will organize this high-level event, co-sponsored by other member states to commemorate the International Day. The event will focus on how exchanges and mutual learning among diverse civilizations can foster stronger drivers for improving global governance. Follow the conversations with the hashtags: #10June, #DialogueamongCivilizations, #mutualunderstanding, #civilizationalvalue.

EVENT: On Wednesday, June 10th, from 15:30pm to 17:00pm in the United Nations Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UNHQ will be held a High level thematic event to mark the International Day for Dialogue among Civilization 2026 entitled "Exploring New Pathways for Dialogue Among Civilizations And Jointly Writing New Chapters for Global Governance". The event aims to provide a platform for all stakeholders, including Member States, international organizations, the private sector, academics and civil society, to share their perspectives on how dialogue among civilizations can contribute to mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual trust, which will lay the groundwork for cooperation in making the global governance system more just and equitable.
