On Friday in Beijing, as part of the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting, experts gathered for a sub-forum titled "Inter-Civilization Exchanges and Mutual Learning: Cultural Inheritance and Innovation." Participants from China and abroad explored ways to bring the Global Civilization Initiative to life.
At the heart of the discussion was Wang Wei, president of Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology. With 43 years of archaeological research under his belt, Wang mapped out the trajectory of Chinese civilization from ancient roots to contemporary reinventions.
Wang highlighted that preserving cultural heritage isn't just about safeguarding the past – it's a launchpad for future innovation. He argued that by sharing ideas and practices across cultures, societies can enrich their own traditions and spark fresh perspectives.
The session underscored the value of dialogue over isolation, inviting young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to join the conversation. For a world where digital connections cross borders in milliseconds, mutual learning among civilizations offers a blueprint for collaboration and creative renewal.
