The Global Public Security Cooperation Forum （Lianyungang） （GPSCFL） accords with the historical trend of peace， development and win-win cooperation， and endeavors to provide an international exchange and cooperation platform to jointly discuss security situations， share security concepts， and seek security solutions. Previously， the Forum has successfully hosted two Conferences， and achieved series of outcomes in areas like deepening communication on concepts， strengthening policy exchanges， reaching important consensus， and putting forward practical measures to implement the Global Security Initiative， and jointly building a global public security collaborative mechanism of extensive consultation. In 2023， the Global Security Initiative Concept Paper， published by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China， named the GPSCFL as one of the cooperation platforms and mechanisms to be supported by the government. The GPSCFL will take the convening of the 2024 Conference as one opportunity， uphold the permanent philosophy of “Cooperative Security for Common Prosperity”， implement the Global Security Initiative and the common， comprehensive， cooperative and sustainable security concept， advocate the people-centered public security concept， adhere to the principle of extensive consultation， joint contribution， and shared benefits， and contribute to the effort of the international community to better coordinate development and security. By pooling strengths and wisdom of all stakeholders， the conference aimed to provide people in all countries with greater and fairer access to the achievements of security and development， and jointly build a human community with a shared future featuring universal security and common prosperity.
