The Imperial Springs International Forum (ISIF) 2024 is taking place in Madrid in Spain on Dec 11-12, marking the first time the forum has ventured outside China. The move underscores its dedication to expand multilateral discourses and to nurture a more inclusive and collaborative global framework.

Themed on "Collective Action for One Future", ISIF 2024 has attracted over 130 political leaders, dignitaries and experts from over 40 countries. Attendees include former heads of state, academics and representatives from international organizations.

Organizers say ISIF remains steadfast in bridging cultural and political gaps to tackle shared challenges in our interconnected world.
