Brief Introduction of ICC

The International Cooperation Center (ICC) is a high-end think tank established as part of China’s initiative to foster international cooperation via modern policy institutes. Recognized by national administrative bodies, the ICC operates as China’s first knowledge hub with a joint council management structure. It focuses on forward-looking and strategic issues and carries out projects assigned by relevant authorities. Over time, the ICC has become an important platform for analyzing global changes, understanding China's evolving role, and promoting international engagement and cooperation.

The ICC Joint Council, comprising over ten leading national institutions and research bodies on multiple disciplines, collaborates closely with relevant ministries and commissions. Affiliated with the ICC (an independent entity supported by various public organizations), the Council shares general secretary duties with the International Cooperation Cultural Center, a social organization. The member institutions of the ICC Joint Council bring significant expertise and influence to areas such as public diplomacy, strategic research, economics and finance, international relations, overseas NGOs and foreign think tanks, among others. They form a robust global research and cooperation network for the ICC.

The ICC adheres to China’s overall diplomatic and developmental policies while staying attuned to global shifts. Leveraging its expertise in forward-looking research and crisis management, the Center addresses critical issues regarding China's collaborations with various countries and regions. Over the years, the ICC has been dedicated to deepening high-level exchanges between China and its counterparts, promoting goodwill between Chinese people and peoples of the world, and working towards a more open global economy.

The ICC has been providing both insights and assistance to facilitate China's global engagement, create a more conducive international environment and seize opportunities for development. We aim to present a comprehensive and nuanced perspective of China, for common progress and global peace.
