At the end of February, Athens University in Greece had a warm spring breeze and bright sunshine. The philosophy professor of the University of Athens told the reporter of Xinhua News Agency in his office about the preparation process of the Center for Mutual Learning of Civilizations between China and Greece. After the visit, the two sides actively implemented the consensus of the leaders of the two countries and began to prepare for the establishment of the China-Greek Center for Mutual Learning of Civilizations. Apostolis Dimitropoulos was one of the main promoters of the establishment of a center for mutual learning among civilizations. He said that during his visit to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius in Shandong Province, he realized that Confucianism originated in China and had a profound impact on the eastern civilization, and that ancient Greek philosophy was the basis of western civilization. The study of ancient Chinese and Greek civilization began with a comparative study of the two countries' philosophy, which was of great significance. Therefore, Dimitropoulos began to contact universities with ancient philosophy departments in Greece to find Greek scholars interested in this idea. Since the spring of 2020, the Greek Ministry of Education has organized and coordinated the preparation of the Greek Center by the University of Athens, the University of Patrice, the University of Aristotle and the University of Crete. In China, Southwestern University, because of its profound accumulation in the field of Sino-Greek civilization research, has cooperated with Renmin University of China, Shandong University and Sichuan University to prepare for the establishment of Chinese centers on an equal basis and carry out all-round cooperation with Greece. "The Chinese civilization has a long history, and the ancient Greek civilization has a profound influence. More than 2000 years ago, the two major civilizations of China and Greece were mutually reinforcing on both sides of the Eurasian continent, making a fundamental and significant contribution to the evolution of human civilization. Now, the establishment of the China-Greek Civilization Mutual Learning Center between the two countries is committed to promoting the exchange and mutual learning between the Chinese and Greek civilizations and promoting the development of civilizations of all countries, which is of great historical and epochal significance."
