On the evening of November 26th, the "Oriental Civilization Summit Dialogue" jointly organized by the Mencius Public Welfare Foundation and the Speaker Bureau was held in Beijing. Several political and business professionals, experts and scholars attended the event and discussed topics such as how Eastern and Western civilizations can exchange and learn from each other and develop together, focusing on the dialogue theme of "Mencius Wisdom, Civilization Exchange and Mutual Learning". Meng Liang, Chairman of the Mencius Public Welfare Foundation, delivered a speech stating that both Eastern and Western civilizations are concentrated manifestations of human wisdom. Exchange, understanding, reference, and integration are inevitable choices for historical development. Confucianism, as an important component of Chinese philosophy, has been a characteristic and essence of Confucian culture for thousands of years, which is "harmony". Only by prioritizing peace and solving problems, and grasping the main contradictions and aspects of things, can countries achieve common development and share the fruits of civilization. Chen Xiaoxia, Dean of the Mencius Research Institute, presided over the theme dialogue segment. During this period, former Belgian Prime Minister and European Parliament member Guy Vosda, along with the President of the Chinese Institute of Human Engineering, Li Jianjun, and the President of the Chinese Institute of Development, Wang Tong, engaged in in-depth dialogue and exchange around the theme of "Mencius wisdom, cultural exchange and mutual learning". Guy Vostar made a speech. Guy Vostar said that the enlightenment of the COVID-19 to mankind is that only by working together can we protect the health of all human beings, so human beings must understand each other and give play to the power of solidarity. "We should strengthen dialogue among civilizations, covering all forms of exchanges, because harmony is the only way to save mankind and the earth." Wang Tong proposed that all countries should respect each other On the basis of mutual understanding, we can learn from each other and benefit from each other, enhance cultural identity, strengthen cultural and commercial exchanges, and jointly improve the quality of life of people in each other's countries. When discussing the reference value of Mencius' wisdom in the exchange and mutual learning of Eastern and Western civilizations, Li Jianjun said that emerging industries and technologies such as the metaverse, ChatGPT, and big data are actually opportunities for China's excellent traditional culture to be used for the present. That evening, the attending guests enjoyed cultural performances with Chinese characteristics, such as playing the guzheng and singing traditional Chinese music.
