From ancient Silk Road routes to modern tech partnerships, Hussain sees this as key to fostering mutual understanding in an era of geopolitical shifts 🌐🤝.
Having witnessed China’s peaceful ascent firsthand, Hussain noted how younger generations—both in Asia and globally—are driving cross-cultural collaborations.
