On May 15th, the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations was grandly opened in Beijing. President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the conference and delivered a keynote speech. We must strengthen exchanges and mutual learning between different countries, different nationalities and different cultures in the world, and consolidate the humanistic foundation of the community of Asian destiny and the community of human destiny. President Xi Jinping’s important speech pointed out an important trend in current human development, namely the global civilization connectivity.
For thousands of years, China has been committed to communication with other civilizations. The exchanges between different civilizations can not only promote the prosperity of civilization, but also have a significant effect on satisfying people's longing for a better life. At present, human beings face global common challenges, no country can deal with it alone. Therefore, we should seek wisdom from different civilizations, absorb nutrition, provide spiritual support and spiritual comfort, and realize the people's pursuit of a better life through global civilization connectivity.
Promoting global civilization connectivity is conducive to building a peaceful world. The exchange of civilizations and mutual learning is an important driving force for the advancement of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. The exchanges between civilizations are conducive to promoting the free flow of goods, capital, technology and personnel, and promoting the harmonious coexistence of civilization and the world. World peace can only be maintained through peaceful coexistence, which can only be based on dialogue among civilizations. Peace can be achieved by civilization exchange which can promote development in return. In the 21st century, when countries are increasingly becoming a community of destiny, the exchange of civilizations and mutual learning will also become an important driving force for the advancement of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. Therefore, we should uphold the attitude of equality and respect, deepen our understanding of the differences between our own civilizations and other civilizations on the basis of abandoning arrogance and prejudice, and extensively carry out cross-border, cross-temporal and cross-civilized exchange activities, jointly promoting the exchange and peaceful development of Asian civilization.
Global civilization has a positive impact on building a world of common prosperity. The “Belt and Road Initiative” is a classic example of promoting common development through civilized intercommunication. As an important way of communication among contemporary civilizations, the BRI promotes exchanges and cooperation between countries in science and technology, education, culture, health, and non-governmental exchanges. China has provided a large number of public goods to Asian neighbors through communication and connectivity, and countries along the route have also taken the free ride of China's development through civilized exchanges, and the people's livelihood has generally improved. Through civilization, the BRI has significantly promoted the economic development of countries along the route and expanded the common interests of Asian countries. Therefore, all countries should work together to promote open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced, and win-win economic globalization, and create a life of worry-free life for all peoples in the exchange and cooperation of civilizations.
Asian civilization has begun to flourish because of communication and prospered through connectivity. The Chinese civilization is also growing in exchanges with other civilizations. Civilizations are colorful because of exchanges and are enriched by mutual learning. Humanities exchanges, mutual understanding of civilizations have enhanced the friendship of the people of all countries, and at the same time created conditions for building a world of openness and integration. Therefore, we must strengthen exchanges and mutual learning between different countries, different nationalities and different cultures in the world, and promote the commonwealth of the people.
On the occasion of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations, Asian countries and countries around the world should work with China to further promote the process of political mutual trust, economic cooperation and civilized dialogue, deepen understanding of different civilizations on this basis and actively build a community of human destiny, injecting positive energy into building a lasting peace, common prosperity, and an open and inclusive world.
