高校社团对于中国公共外交的意义——以北京大学东南亚协会为例

The Significance of University Associations to China's Public Diplomacy——Take the Southeast Asian Association of Peking University as an Example

在外交日益开放化和社会化的今天,高校社团以其得天独厚的优势,成为开展公共外交的重要平台。涉外高校社团从共情纽带、代际传递、利益根基方面推动了以民心相通为核心的公共外交事业。北京大学东南亚协会是中国高校开展公共外交的典范,其中国—东盟青年“风汇”、澜湄可持续愿景行动、青年智库等精品活动整合了高校优势资源,有效促进了中国—东盟命运共同体建设。同时,北京大学东南亚协会也为中国高校开展公共外交活动提供了诸多有益经验,包括将外国友人“大方迎进来”、帮助青年学子“大胆走出去”、加强公共外交的互联网宣传建设等。

Nowadays,with diplomacy increasingly becoming an open and socialized topic,university associations have become important players in public diplomacy with their unique strengths.University associations associated with international studies have promoted public diplomacy with the people-to-people bond at the core,involving empathy,intergenerational continuity and solid interest foundations.The Southeast Asian Association of Peking University is a model in public diplomacy among Chinese institutions of higher learning.Its high-quality activities,such as the China-ASEAN Youth Summit,the Lancang-Mekong Sustainable Vision Action,and the Youth Think Tank,have integrated the resources of universities and effectively promoted the building of the China-ASEAN Youth Community.At the same time,it has also provided many useful experiences for Chinese universities to carry out public diplomacy,including having international visitors,helping young students“going abroad”,and strengthening internet publicity connection.
