For more than 70 years since its establishment, the school has always taken it as its mission to be based in the frontier, serve the frontier, and serve the unity, prosperity and development of ethnic groups.

The school has become a cradle for the cultivation of high-level and high-quality talents in China, especially in the southwest, an important base for studying ethnic issues and ethnic relations, and an important window for the country and Yunnan to open up to the outside world. Focusing on the goal of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, the school has built a national unity and progress education system of "six integrations" to vigorously promote exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups. The school was awarded the honor of "National Model Unit for National Unity and Progress" by the State Council four times in 1999, 2005, 2009 and 2019, and was awarded the title of "National Model Unit for the Creation of National Unity and Progress Activities" in 2016 and 2023.

The school closely revolves around the national, frontier, and international school-running positioning, actively integrates into the national "Belt and Road" construction, serves Yunnan's leapfrog development, and always adheres to the school-running goal of "based in Yunnan, serving the frontier, and radiating Southeast Asia and South Asia".

In order to better serve the training of ethnic minority talents, in 2013, based on the original preparatory education college, the Yunnan Higher Education Ethnic Minority Preparatory Education Base was established in the school, building a bridge for ethnic minority students to access higher education and cultivating and supplying high-quality ethnic minority undergraduate students to colleges and universities inside and outside the province. The base has been commended by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and Yunnan Province for many times.Won the title of "National Model Collective for National Unity and Progress". In December 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed in his reply to the college student Alinur Alim: Spread the belief that all ethnic groups are one family to more people, and be a practitioner, promoter and guardian of national unity in the new era. The school is committed to sowing the seeds of friendship. It has opened 15 official language majors in 14 South Asian and Southeast Asian countries, including Thai, Burmese, Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodian, Malay, Indonesian, Hindi, Bengali, Filipino, Tamil, Pashto, Sinhalese, Nepali, Urdu, etc., and has provided a large number of talents for the society. The school actively responded to the "Belt and Road" initiative. On May 15, 2015, under the joint witness of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Indian Prime Minister Modi, Yunnan Nationalities University and the Indian Cultural Relations Committee signed a memorandum of understanding on the joint construction of the China-India Yoga College. The joint construction was written into Article 21 of the "Joint Statement of China and India". The Sino-Indian Yoga College was established in our school, becoming the world's first yoga college outside of India. In November 2017, Premier Li Keqiang gave important instructions on the construction of the college, and the main leaders of the Ministry of Education and the State General Administration of Sports respectively issued special instructions. After six years of construction and development, the college has pioneered yoga academic education in colleges and universities across the country. At present, it has become the National Fitness Yoga Theoretical Research Center of the State General Administration of Sports, and is committed to becoming the standard setter, rule maintainer, industry leader, and even the founder of the Chinese yoga discipline in China. In order to further integrate into the national strategy and give play to the regional advantages, in December 2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education of China agreed to add Yunnan Nationalities University as the second batch of China-ASEAN Education and Training Center organizers. In December 2016, with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the school established the Lancang-Mekong Vocational Education Base on the basis of the China-ASEAN Education and Training Center. After years of construction, the school has established 8 training bases at the China-Myanmar, China-Vietnam and China-Laos border ports, 3 training bases in Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, and training bases in Kunming and Dehong areas of China (Yunnan) Pilot Free Trade Zone, providing more than 40,000 professional and technical personnel training for the Mekong countries. In order to broaden the scope of Lancang-Mekong vocational education cooperation, the school has established Lancang-Mekong International Vocational College, Lancang-Mekong Vocational Education Alliance, Lancang-Mekong International Cooperation Research Institute and other multi-level and multi-field in-depth promotion of Lancang-Mekong vocational education cooperation, enriching and enriching the school's construction achievements in serving the national strategy. Premier Li Keqiang, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, leaders of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and Government, and administrative leaders of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Party Committee have all highly praised the construction achievements of the Lancang-Mekong Vocational Education Base. In addition, the construction of Lancang-Mekong Vocational Education Base has been included in the "Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Five-Year Action Plan (2018-2020)" and many policy documents such as the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Yunnan Provincial Government. It has become a project jointly discussed, built and shared by the six Lancang-Mekong countries and has been rated as a "national-level education foreign cooperation and exchange project" by the Ministry of Education. In the future, the school will continue to focus on connotative development, constantly explore and build a modern university system, rooted in Yunnan, facing the whole country, radiating South Asia and Southeast Asia, and strive to move forward towards a high-level ethnic university, a model school for ethnic unity, and a model school for "three styles" construction under the background of the national "double first-class" construction.
