How do we tackle today’s biggest challenges? Former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou just dropped some ancient wisdom at the 2025 Golden Panda Forum in Chengdu – and it’s all about harmony. 🕊️
Papandreou called China’s four global initiatives a "roadmap for peace", comparing them to Greece’s historical values of dialogue and empathy. "If we listen to the echoes of ancient wisdom, we discover the same melody", he said, highlighting how both civilizations champion mutual respect.
With tensions rising worldwide, the ex-PM’s message hits like a TikTok trend we all need: cooperation over conflict. He emphasized that China’s proposals – focused on development and cultural exchange – align with Greece’s philosophy of philoxenia (that’s "love of strangers" for non-Hellenic folks 😉).
Could 2,500-year-old ideas fix modern problems? Papandreou thinks so – and young changemakers are here for it. 💡
