In a significant move towards fostering international cooperation, youth representatives from China and Cyprus gathered at the European University Cyprus in Nicosia for the Third China-Cyprus Youth Forum held in late October. Over 60 young leaders from both nations convened to discuss pivotal topics such as mutual learning between civilizations, digital transformation, and green development.
Chinese Ambassador to Cyprus, Liu Yantao, delivered a compelling keynote speech emphasizing the importance of these themes. He highlighted that mutual learning between civilizations, digital transformation, and green development are not only central to China-Cyprus cooperation but also to broader China-EU collaborative efforts.
\"These priorities will profoundly impact the evolution of world civilizations,\" Liu stated, urging youths from both sides to deepen their mutual understanding, friendship, and cooperation. He envisioned a future where China and Cyprus work together to build a community with a shared destiny for humanity.
The ambassador also underscored China's longstanding commitment to advancing human civilizations through equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness. He emphasized the importance of openness, fairness, and security in digital transformation, as well as fostering harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
\"In pursuing Chinese modernization, we are contributing our wisdom and proposals to make the world an even better place,\" Liu added, calling on the younger generation to continue driving positive change through collaborative efforts.
