On April 9, 2026, the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University hosted a China–Russia expert seminar titled “Geopolitical Conflicts and Major Power Coordination.” The event brought together leading scholars and experts from China and Russia specializing in international security, major power relations, and regional conflict studies. The seminar was chaired by Da Wei, Director of CISS.

The seminar focused on the theme of geopolitical conflicts and major power coordination. Participating experts engaged in in-depth discussions on a range of key issues, including the current situation and future trajectory of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, developments in the Middle East and major power competition, as well as the triangular relationship among China, the United States, and Russia in shaping the global order. The discussions also examined the evolving landscape of global geopolitical conflicts and explored practical pathways for coordination among major powers.

In addition, participants exchanged views on broader issues such as the transformation of the global order and regional security governance, in light of the increasingly complex and dynamic international security environment. At the conclusion of the seminar, Director Da Wei and the Russian participants discussed potential avenues for future institutional cooperation.
