Conclusion At the Contemporary World Multilateral Dialogue 2013, scholars brought new ideas in the Chinese capital Beijing under the umbrella of CCCWS and took back to their countries Chinese leaderships vision and plans of partnership with world. No doubt, the world in next decade would be full of opportunities as well as uncertainties. But we hope that Chinas good neighborly policy, political engagement with world, increasing economic partnerships in Asia and world, its proactive role in keeping the world in peace and stability, its trend of raising voice for reforming the global intuitions with consultation. Chinas contribution to global economic stability would continue helping transform the world into a peaceful, prosperous and harmonious world which is a Chinese Dream. We can foresee that Cyber Security challenges dominate the arena of global battle field and security crisis could turn worse. But we hope that bright brains would find alternative energies and fuels helping lower the pollution and make the world green. We are also hopeful that swift communication would connect the world to share knowledge and experience. Hegemonic designs would be replaced with ambitions for common development. Containment policies of China would be abandoned by world powers, peace would be restored in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, while Kashmir and Palestine issue would be solved under UN charter. Asian nations would join heads and hands to play their proactive role helping Asia gain better and stronger position in the world and thus set the stage to celebrate the 21st century as Asian Century
