On May 15, 2019, Xi Jinping announced at the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations that China would be happy to launch initiatives with relevant countries to translate Asian classics both from and into Chinese and promote film and TV exchange and cooperation in Asia. The intention was to help people in Asia better understand and appreciate each other's cultures and build a platform for exchange and mutual learning that would empower the best of Asian civilizations to spread and become known to more people around the world.

The Program's secretariat works out of Beijing Language and Culture University. As of October 2022, China had signed memoranda of understanding on translation and publication of classic works with Singapore, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, Iran, Laos, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Mongolia, contributing to the promotion and spread of the best of Asian civilization and fostering a community with a shared future for all Asians.
