Multilateral mechanisms are important platforms and vehicles for cooperation in traditional medicine.Relying on multilateral platforms,China is able to enhance the international influence of the domestic traditional Chinese medicine and form synergies with other member countries to enhance regional or cross-regional radiation effects in order to promote sustainable development of traditional medicine around the world.This paper focuses on China's participation in major multilateral health cooperation mechanisms,including global initiatives(WHO-led global cooperation framework,the Belt and Road Initiative),regional multilateral mechanisms(ASEAN countries,China-Japan-Korea Health Cooperation Mechanism,Shanghai Cooperation Organization(SCO),The Greater Mekong Subregion(GMS)),and cross-regional multilateral mechanisms(BRICS,Forum On China-Africa Cooperation(FOCAC),G20),and sorts out the cooperation policies and actions in traditional medicine under different mechanisms,to analyze the characteristics and challenges of the existing mechanisms in traditional medicine cooperation,and to provide evidence for China's promotion on multilateral cooperation in traditional medicine.
