At the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations, Italian scholar Dario Falumlaro emphasized the pivotal role of international dialogue in advancing world civilizations. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Belt and Road Institute of Beijing Language and Culture University, Falumlaro shared his insights with CGTN, highlighting how open communication between nations fosters mutual understanding and progress.
“In today’s interconnected world, dialogue between different cultures is more important than ever,” Falumlaro stated. “By engaging in meaningful exchanges, we can bridge gaps, overcome misunderstandings, and collaboratively work towards a better future.”
Falumlaro also underscored the significant contribution that researchers and academics make in this global conversation. “Academics serve as bridges between cultures,” he explained. “Through research and education, we can disseminate knowledge that not only advances our own societies but also enriches others.”
The Nishan Forum, held in the hometown of Confucius, serves as a platform for scholars from around the world to discuss the development of world civilizations. This year’s forum focused on the theme of “Diversity of Civilizations and Shared Future for Mankind,” bringing together thinkers to explore how diverse cultures can coexist harmoniously.
Falumlaro’s participation highlights the growing importance of international collaboration in academic circles, particularly within the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. “Our collaborative efforts contribute to a shared vision of prosperity and cultural enrichment,” he remarked. “Through collective wisdom, we can address global challenges and promote peace.”
The Italian scholar’s insights resonate with many at the forum, emphasizing that open dialogue and academic cooperation are vital for the continued growth and harmony of global civilizations.
