In a world where culture remains at the heart of human development, China and UNESCO are collaborating to foster a more interconnected global community.
On September 28, Chinese premier Xi Jinping met with Audrey Azoulay, director-general of UNESCO, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, highlighting the importance of cultural dialogue in today's rapidly changing society.
Established in 1945, UNESCO's mission focuses on building a culture of peace, eradicating poverty, promoting sustainable development, and encouraging intercultural dialogue through education, science, culture, communication, and information.
China's Global Civilization Initiative aligns seamlessly with UNESCO's objectives, aiming to strengthen cultural exchanges and mutual understanding among civilizations.
A notable success of this partnership is the UNESCO Prize for the Education of Girls and Women, jointly established by China and UNESCO, which has significantly advanced educational opportunities for women and girls around the globe.
Through such initiatives, both organizations emphasize the critical role of culture and education in achieving sustainable development and fostering global solidarity.
