Ningbo hosts World Mayors Dialogue 2026
Approximately 200 international guests are meeting in Ningbo, China, from November 2-5 to discuss urban collaboration and sustainable development.
The city of Ningbo, China, is hosting the World Mayors Dialogue 2026 from November 2 to 5. The gathering brings together approximately 200 attendees, including city leaders, diplomats, and representatives from international organizations.
The event program is structured around a "1+2+3" framework: one primary dialogue session, two scenario-based discussions focusing on technological transformation and port city integration, and three cultural exchange activities. Topics slated for discussion include urban resilience, economic cooperation, and strategies for sustainable growth.
As a significant port city and center for intelligent manufacturing, Ningbo is using the summit to facilitate networking and knowledge sharing between global cities. Attendees will participate in site visits to local robotics firms and cultural heritage sites to observe the city's industrial and historical landscape.
Organizers intend for the event to culminate in the presentation of the "Ningbo Consensus," a document aimed at fostering long-term cooperation and mutual development among the participating cities.
