Macao is set to host the 2025 International Forum on Mutual Learning among Civilizations starting tomorrow, December 16, bringing together over 50 global leaders, scholars, and cultural experts. The two-day event will spotlight Macao’s role as a historic crossroads of East-West exchange, timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of its UNESCO World Heritage recognition 🏛️.
Leong Wai Man, Director of Macao SAR’s Cultural Affairs Bureau, emphasized the forum’s significance: "This is a chance to showcase how Macao has blended cultures for centuries—a living example of dialogue in action." Participants will explore strategies to promote cultural understanding amid today’s interconnected yet divided world 🌐.
Fun fact: Macao’s Historic Center, with its Portuguese-influenced architecture and Chinese traditions, remains a top Insta-worthy destination 📸! The forum also aligns with broader efforts to position the city as a hub for soft diplomacy and creative industries.
