Many foreign experts have commented on China’s international cooperation, noting the wide variety of Chinese products available in their home countries. This diversity serves as a vivid reflection of the friendly cooperation and exchanges between nations. Some attendees believe that only by deepening exchanges and cooperation can common prosperity and development be achieved.
The participants highlighted that drawing on the wisdom of diverse cultures could serve as a powerful catalyst for shared prosperity, as well as for advancing cultural inheritance and innovation.
Roger T. Ames, a professor at both the University of Hawaii and Peking University, noted that civilizational dialogue offered an alternative to nation-state-centered geopolitics.
Simon Lichtenberg, the All China Founding Chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, emphasized that mutual understanding and respect are fundamental to global development, pointing out that international exchanges and development require everyone to understand and respect each other.
Similar perspectives resonated during participants’ visits to various cities across China earlier this week. Singh Vikash Kumar, a Hindi language specialist at Beijing Foreign Studies University, expressed awe at the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Dunhuang, northwest China.
“This is one of the most vital and life-filled stories in Buddhist art history. To see such a complete and exquisite preservation in China is deeply moving,” he said.
Moments like this highlight not only the enduring legacy of past civilizations but also the importance of cultural inheritance and innovation in today’s interconnected world — a theme that many experts continued to explore during the forum’s discussions.
