In this lecture, Wu Hongbo, Deputy Secretary-General, started from three aspects: the analysis of the current international situation, the international affairs that China has taken part in in recent years and how to cultivate international multilateral diplomacy. Wu Hongbo took the U.S. 2016 presidential election as an entry point and deeply analyzed the profound changes that have taken place in the current international situation. Then he introduced the important diplomatic work such as "building the Belt and Road", "AIIB" and other important diplomatic activities that China has actively carried out since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully demonstrating the positive contribution made by China as a responsible big country in the international community. At the end of the talk about the issue of personnel training in international organizations, he proposed that international multilateral diplomacy elites not only need to be equipped with excellent professional skills, understanding of national conditions and policies, but also excellent management ability, communication skills and ability to adapt to the environment. He hopes that the Jiao Tong University can train more outstanding diplomatic talents for the country, writing a new chapter in the diplomatic Chinese big power.
