In a significant move to preserve and promote global cultures, China and UNESCO have deepened their cooperation under the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI). This partnership aims to foster intercultural dialogue and sustainable development worldwide.
During a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on September 28, President Xi Jinping and Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, emphasized the importance of rediscovering humanity's roots to drive progress.
UNESCO, established in 1945, strives to build a culture of peace, eradicate poverty, and promote sustainable development through education, sciences, culture, and communication. Aligning with UNESCO's mission, China's GCI focuses on creating conditions for mutual respect and collaboration among diverse civilizations.
A notable achievement of this collaboration is the UNESCO Prize for the Education of Girls and Women, jointly established by China and UNESCO. This prize has been instrumental in advancing educational opportunities for women and girls globally, highlighting the positive impact of their partnership.
As civilizations evolve, the synergy between China and UNESCO underscores a shared commitment to preserving cultural heritage and driving human development forward. 🌟🤝
