Xi calls for co-existence of various civilizations

Harmonious co-existence of various civilizations called for

We should leave various civilizations in the world all in full blossom.

There would be no clash of civilizations as long as people are able to appreciate the beauty of them all.

Openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning among civilizations stressed

Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations should be conducted in a reciprocal and equal manner, and be diversified and multi-directional. They should not be compulsory or forced, or be a one-way flow.

Civilizations should keep pace with times

Innovation should be encouraged to give impetus and vitality to the progress of civilizations.

Asia tourism promotion plan proposed

China is willing to implement an Asia tourism promotion plan with other countries.

Chinese people made more than 160 million outbound trips in 2018 while inbound trips by overseas tourists exceeded 140 million. They are important forces for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among Chinese and foreign civilizations.
