"This argument is very profound and clear." Pavlos Cantos, a philosophy professor at the University of Patre in Greece, spoke highly of the Global Civilization Initiative in an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. "Respecting the diversity of civilizations is necessary, not a choice." Cantos has visited China many times and actively promoted the dialogue between Greece and China. As the Vice Chairman of the Council of the Center for Mutual Learning of Civilizations between China and Greece, which was established in Athens in February this year, he is full of confidence in strengthening exchanges and mutual learning between the two ancient civilizations of Greece and China. He said that the Center for Mutual Learning of Civilizations between China and Greece aims to explore and promote exchanges between the two civilizations from a comparative perspective, and will also be committed to building a cooperative network between universities and academic institutions of the two countries. He said that in September this year, Patley University and Southwest University of China will launch the world's first joint master's training project for comparative studies of ancient Greek and Chinese civilizations, which has "unique" value. Cantos expressed that the dialogue between Greek and Chinese civilizations provides a good opportunity to enhance mutual understanding and sends the message to the world that research on all civilizations has great potential. Elaine Kalamarengu, former dean of the School of Philosophy at the University of Athens, expressed appreciation for China's efforts to promote dialogue among civilizations. She believes that dialogue among civilizations can become a source of intellectual wealth for all participating countries, and humanity should move towards the progressive direction of strengthening dialogue among civilizations. Karamalungu said that the School of Philosophy of the University of Athens has maintained close cooperation with a number of Chinese universities, including exchange student programs, summer schools, and collaborative forums and academic conferences. She said that deepening cooperation between the two countries in the fields of culture and education will help deepen mutual understanding and promote more fruitful cooperation between the two countries.
