BEIJING, June 12 (Xinhua) — Ambassadors and diplomats from nearly 30 countries held an event at the Forbidden City Museum on Tuesday to discuss exchanges and learning among civilizations.
The event, marking the International Day of Dialogue among Civilizations, was jointly organized by the Palace Museum, the Diplomatic Missions Services Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China and the Xinhua News Agency.
Speaking at the event, museum director Wang Xudong recalled that this year the Palace Museum celebrates its centenary.
“Holding discussions with foreign guests on strengthening intercultural cooperation, promoting mutual learning between civilizations and finding ways to achieve universal prosperity and progress of human civilization is of great practical significance,” he stressed.
Xi Yanchun, deputy director general of Xinhua News Agency, said the event provided diplomats from different countries with an opportunity to talk about the diversity and commonality of human civilizations and contribute to building a more harmonious and beautiful world.
The event participants viewed an exhibition of Chinese and foreign gardens, as well as a photo exhibition.
The diplomats were impressed by the architectural beauty of the Palace and its philosophical reflection of harmony between humanity and nature, noting that the Palace is an ideal platform for establishing a dialogue among civilizations.
