Vision China studies influence of ancient culture on modern world
Lazare Eloundou Assomo, director of UNESCO World Heritage Centre, sent his greetings to the event through a video message, in which he noted that China has long advocated harmonious coexistence between people and nature.
Since joining the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1985, China has been playing a leading role in the implementation of the convention and actively sharing its rich experience and expertise in the field of heritage conservation, he noted.
"We will participate in building up global governance and academic discourse systems, carry out practicable steps of the Global Civilization Initiative, promote collaborative archaeology as well as cooperation in cultural relic conservation and museums, and contribute Chinese wisdom, solutions, and strength to the world's protection of cultural heritage," Li Qun added.
"Vision China" is a series event that was launched by China Daily in 2018 to serve as a bridge for communication between China and the world by inviting well-known Chinese and overseas opinion leaders to give talks and share their ideas.
The event has already been held 27 times at home and abroad and through online platforms.
