A measurement of the CKM angle γ and related strong-phase parameters is performed using a novel, model-independent approach in B±→ D(→ K0\rm S h′+h′-) h± decays, where h(′) ≡ π, K. The analysis uses a joint data sample of electron-positron collisions collected by the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II during 2010--2011 and 2021--2022, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8 fb-1, and proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during 2011--2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb-1. The two datasets are analyzed simultaneously by applying per-event weights based on the amplitude variation over the D-decay phase space to enhance the sensitivity to C P-violating observables. The CKM angle γ is determined to be γ= (71.3± 5.0)∘, which constitutes the most precise single measurement to date.
