At the opening ceremony, Chen Ning, Party secretary of Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles , highlighted the progress made over the past five years.

She noted that "Beijing Author Day" has created a comprehensive chain from content translation, cultural exchange, public reading, market cooperation, to promotion. This has effectively established an "international circle of friends" for Beijing literature and created a complete ecosystem for its global outreach.

Chen expressed her hopes for this year’s activities, aiming to further the development of Beijing literature, inspire writers, foster cultural exchanges, and enhance global recognition of Beijing's literary achievements.
