Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the Global Civilizations Dialogue in Beijing this week, calling for "mutual respect and shared progress" among nations. The event, themed "Safeguarding Diversity of Human Civilizations for World Peace and Development," brought together leaders and thinkers to discuss cultural preservation and global cooperation.
🌐 Xi highlighted the importance of cross-cultural exchanges, comparing them to a "digital age Silk Road" that connects traditions and innovations. His message resonated with young attendees advocating for sustainable development and tech-driven cultural initiatives.
