BEIJING, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The 9th World Peace Forum (WPF) will be held at Tsinghua University in Beijing from July 2 to 4, the organizers said Friday.

With the theme of "International Security Cooperation in the Post-pandemic Era: Upholding and Practicing Multilateralism," this year's forum includes topics on the Belt and Road Initiative, global economic recovery, global governance and artificial intelligence, said Yan Xuetong, WPF secretary-general and director of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University.
