No civilization is superior or inferior to\u00a0another, rather, cultural diversity is humanity's greatest strength, stated\u00a0the Minister for Cultural Affairs Nitai Roy Chowdhury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He came up with the remarks while addressing an event as the chief guest\u00a0today at the National Library in gargaon here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To mark the inaugural United Nations International Day for Dialogue Among\u00a0Civilizations, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Bangladesh,\u00a0in collaboration with the Association of Bangladesh-China Alumni (ABCA),\u00a0hosted a distinguished seminar and exhibition titled \"Dialogue of Kindred\u00a0Spirits: China-Bangladesh thought Exchage Event\".\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yao Wen, the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Bangladesh,\u00a0graced the occasion as the special guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his address, Cultural Affairs Minister remarked the world today faces deep\u00a0fractures driven by isunderstanding and the dangerous rhetoric of cultural\u00a0superiority.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The establishment of this UN International Day sends a definitive message:\u00a0civilizations do not clash when they meet, they thrive through exchange and\u00a0forge ahead through mutual learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister highly appreciated the 'Global Civilization Initiative' (GCI)\u00a0proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By advocating for the diversity of civilizations and prioritizing people-to-people exchanges, this initiative aligns seamlessly with Bangladesh's own\u00a0commitment to sovereign, inclusive, and pluralistic development culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Guided by these nationalistic and cooperative principles, we choose\u00a0collaboration over conflict,\" he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting the deep-rooted historical ties, the minister emphasized, China\u00a0and Bangladesh are ancient friends linked by rivers, mountains and millennia\u00a0of shared history.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legendary legacy of the great Buddhist monk Atish Dipankar stands as an\u00a0eternal testament to the intellectual integration of our peoples.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, that ancient spark has successfully evolved into a Comprehensive\u00a0Strategic Cooperative Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the seminar, the minister, alongside Ambassador Yao Wen and other\u00a0dignitaries, toured a special exhibition showcasing the heritage,\u00a0archaeology, and historical ties between the two nations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the walkthrough, they appreciated traditional Chinese calligraphy and\u00a0the historical book display.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the eminent scholars and academics present, the Minister urged\u00a0them to leverage this platform to further deepen bilateral cultural\u00a0cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was widely attended by high-ranking officials from the Chinese\u00a0Embassy, eminent Bangladeshi scholars, researchers, and senior officials from\u00a0the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
