He joined the Communist Party of China in June 1973. He served as the Chinese Ambassador to Hungary from 1989 to 1991. He had served in the Foreign Ministry of the PRC for many years and was elevated to Vice Foreign Minister in December 1993. In June 1995, Dai was transferred from the "foreign affairs system" of the State Council to the "international liaison system" of the Central Committee of the CPC, and became Vice Director of the International Department of the Central Committee of the CPC. In August 1997, on the eve of the 15th CPC National Congress, he was promoted to Director of the International Department.
