佛山市开展公共外交的实践与思考

Practice and Thoughts on Public Diplomacy in Foshan City

作为中国珠江三角洲核心地区的佛山,依托其深厚的历史文化资源、频繁的对外交往活动以及传统的侨乡资源,开展了形式多样而富于成效的交流与合作。新形势下,佛山要进一步明确地方公共外交发展的定位,通过整合各方的涉外资源、打造地方特色的公共外交活动品牌等方式途径,积极开展和世界先进国家的友好交流和合作,推动地方经济发展和城市升级,提高城市的知名度和美誉度。

Foshan, situated at the heart of China's Pearl River Delta, has witnessed diversified and frequent overseas exchanges and cooperation thanks to its profound historical and cultural resources, intensive international exchanges, and as home to many overseas Chinese. In the new era, to promote local economic growth and municipal upgrading and enhance its popularity and reputation, Foshan needs to further orient the development of public diplomacy, integrate resources relative to foreign affairs, build brand activities in public diplomacy with local characteristics, and actively carry out friendly exchanges and cooperation with advanced countries.
