What is international understanding?
The purpose of "international understanding" is to help people treat foreigners not as abstract people, but as concrete people-they have their own reason, their own pain and their own happiness. The mission of education is to help people find common humanity among different nationalities and advocate mutual tolerance, friendship and cooperation between countries.

After the end of the "Cold War", the nature of international exchanges has undergone profound changes, and the world has developed towards a multipolar pattern.

The General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the 44th International Conference on Education and the corresponding Comprehensive Action Program of Education for Peace, Human Rights and Democracy. The Declaration and the Programme of Action mark the establishment of "pluralistic educational values" in theory and policy, and embody the basic spirit of the era of globalization.
