Over 100 Chinese and foreign experts and scholars gathered in Beijing Tuesday to attend an international symposium on world socialism in the 21st century.

Li Tieying, president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), sent a congratulatory message to the meeting during which participants expressed optimism with regard to the future of socialism in the world.

At the start of the 21st century, world socialism is facing new and complex challenges with respect to its evolution, said the official in his letter.
