At a Friday sub-forum in Beijing titled "Inter-Civilization Exchanges and Mutual Learning: Cultural Inheritance and Innovation," delegates from the Chinese mainland and beyond joined the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting to explore ways to bring the Global Civilization Initiative to life.
When asked about the obstacles facing cultural heritage conservation on the Chinese mainland, Liu Yuzhu, chairman of the China Foundation for Cultural Heritage Conservation, broke down the core challenges and underscored one clear solution: boosting international collaboration for a more holistic protection strategy.
For Liu and other experts, cross-border partnerships promise fresh perspectives, shared know-how, and pooled resources to safeguard landmarks, traditions, and histories. By weaving together diverse expertise, these alliances can help communities everywhere protect their stories for future generations.
As threats like environmental change and rapid urbanization emerge globally, the forum’s message rang loud and clear: safeguarding our shared heritage depends on teamwork that spans cultures and continents.
