At the beginning of the meeting, Deputy Director General Wang Yu delivered a keynote speech on the international situation and diplomatic work. From the perspective of the international economic and political situation, Director General Wang analyzed the current international situation to the students in a simple way, focusing on the two aspects of "accelerating the evolution of the unprecedented changes in a century" and "the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change". As the largest developing country, China has played an important role in safeguarding the common interests of developing countries and promoting the development of the international order in a more just and reasonable direction, It has injected stability and positive energy into the turbulent world, and has gradually accumulated successful experience in major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. Director General Wang pointed out that the successful practice of diplomacy with Chinese characteristics can not be separated from the purpose of China's foreign policy of "maintaining world peace and promoting common development", nor can it be separated from the "diplomatic iron army" with firm politics and strict discipline. With the core values of "loyalty, mission and dedication", our diplomatic team should actively carry forward the fine tradition of diplomats and encourage generations of young diplomats to set sail. Then Director General Wang, combining his own diplomatic work experience, demonstrated the glorious but arduous growth path of a diplomat. He encouraged young students to join the relay race of "making a country strong is my own" and shoulder the mission of "serving the country as the highest pursuit".

Later, Zhang Rui, Deputy Director of the Department of Border Seas, shared his personal growth experience and diplomatic work insights with the students. He said that diplomacy is a great cause, diplomatic work is a work with feelings, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a unit with temperature; It is hoped that more students will apply for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and more ambitious young people will devote themselves to the cause of diplomacy of major countries with Chinese characteristics. Finally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cadres Examinations and Training Office made a detailed introduction to the students on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' enrollment policy, the career development path of civil servants in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, welfare treatment and other issues, saying that contemporary young students meet a prosperous age and shoulder their mission. Diplomatic work calls for a new generation of young and promising people. It hopes that more outstanding young students in colleges and universities can join the diplomatic corps, and realize the youth dream in the process of realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation Write a brilliant chapter of life.

The lecture ended in warm applause. The students of Zhejiang University were deeply encouraged. Director Dong Shihong of the Employment Guidance and Service Center pointed out that students should carefully study the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, get familiar with the situation and policies of China's diplomatic work, actively apply for the civil service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, closely link the realization of life values with the destiny of the nation state, and strive to become a diplomat who can reassure the Party and the people. The seminar deepened the students' understanding of the diplomatic work of major countries with Chinese characteristics, and further stimulated the students' enthusiasm for the sacred and noble cause of China's diplomacy. I believe that under the guidance of the school motto of seeking truth and innovation and the inspiration of China's diplomatic spirit, more and more students of Zhejiang University will devote themselves to the cause of the motherland's diplomacy, realize the ideal of "building our country, and the world will come together", and contribute Zhejiang University's strength to the diplomatic cause of a major country with Chinese characteristics!
