The document discusses China's Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs, which took place in June 2018 under the leadership of Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. The conference is a significant event as it brings together China's entire leadership to analyze international trends and assess how China should respond to them in pursuit of its national interests. The document also touches upon the importance of these conferences for China's foreign policy establishment, as any new directives concerning China's global engagement are likely to be found in Xi Jinping's report to the conference.
