There are also forums about human sustainability and balanced nature development. The problem is how to distinguish yourself from other forums and make it grow. That requires an expectation value and strategy focus of the forum. There is a possibility of succeed. I think it is very important and meaningful that Antarctic Forum built a higher conception and wider extension. I am looking forward seeing the achievements of Antarctic Forum.

Antarctic Forum represents a responsibility from the society and country pursuing higher level human interests and common interests of the world. The existence of Antarctic Forum indicates China’s care and concern about Antarctica. Therefore, Antarctic Forum should be more than a forum it also should embody the common and long term interests between China and the world.

As the in-depth scientific exploration goes forward, the importance of social sustainable developing and exhibiting of comprehensive national strength shows. However it is insufficient if we only conduct scientific exploration but fail to arouse the whole society’s concern on Antarctica. Therefore, Antarctic Forum should aim at the masses of people in addition to the international elites and involve itself as a part of public diplomacy.

The orientation of Antarctic Forum should gradually extent itself to an international public diplomacy platform between China and related international institutes and organizations. Topics chosen should focus on the most concerned issues in order to improve China’s position in international public opinions through communicating with them on this platform.

My understanding is that a primary goal will be to create a forum which supports well-informed, high level dialogue around important societal issues. The proper balancing of environment protection and conservation, on the one hand, with economic and social development, on the other, will be an issue addressed in the initial activities of the Forum.

Antarctic Forum is a cross-border, cross-discipline, cross-industry platform for us to make introspection as well as prospects. We could probably discover the solution for the ecological civilization through it.

Antarctica is far beyond your imagination for its microthermal, glacial, extremely clean surroundings and the most beautiful sunset and dusk in the world. There we have a great chance to discover ice that has been existed for over a million years, which unveil precious information of climate of earth and even the outterspace since its formation.

The choice of location for Antarctic Forum was very distinctive and as well as globalization. It is a platform to approach the current international issue and Antarctic Forum is making the best effort to seek a better future for human beings.
