Background
The Carter Center, founded by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in 1982, has worked for over 16 years to foster mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and China. President Carter’s reputation as the American leader who established diplomatic ties with China in 1979 has allowed the Center a unique and unparalleled role in bringing the two countries closer together. Since 1996, the Center has provided assistance in a variety of sectors in Chinese society, ranging from training special education teachers to advancing government accountability, and has become one of the mostwell-known American organizations in China.

On November 11, 2013, The Carter Center will host a forum on U.S.-China relations at its headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. As the inaugural event of a new project on improving U.S.-China relations, the forum marks the Center’s renewed commitment in engaging China, at the invitation of President Xi Jinping and in partnership with U.S. businesses and academic institutions. President Carter will speak at the event and take questions from the audience. 

Many renowned scholars and practitioners in international affairs in the United States and China already have agreed to participate. The forum will begin with a closed-door discussion among a select group of expert participants on Sunday, November 10, to exchange thoughts in confidence at a comfortable and casual venue within Emory University’s Miller-Ward Alumni House. The public event on Monday, November 11 will be held at The Carter Center and will feature President Carter and other prominent leaders and scholars from China and the United States as panelists. The forum will unveil a new Carter Center project on U.S.-China relations that focuses on three areas: 
  1. Reducing misperceptions in the bilateral relations held by elites in both countries, 
  2. Promoting greater U.S.-China cooperation in the developing world, and 
  3. Nurturing a young generation of Chinese and Americans who are positioned to work together to build a stronger foundation for the world’s most important bilateral relationship. 
These ideas will be shared and discussed with forum participants and help guide the Center’s work in China in the coming years.
