The compilation ofThe History of Interaction, Communication, and Integration of the Chinese Nationis a concrete measure to implement this central theme.

Pan Yue stressed the need to follow General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on improving and strengthening ethnic work as guidance. The efforts should focus on the central theme of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, adhere to a correct view of Chinese national history, and continue addressing major theoretical issues related to theThree Interactions(interaction, communication, and integration). The research should be expanded to include region-specific studies, with continuous refinement of methodologies and institutional mechanisms. Pan urged all participants to strengthen their sense of responsibility, uphold high academic standards, enhance support for the compilation process, and facilitate the translation of results into actionable outcomes. With a clear timeline and an organized approach, all tasks for the next phase must be efficiently implemented to ensure that the project contributes significantly to the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work in the new era.
