For far too long, a view has prevailed that developed nations have the right to lecture others. But times have changed. This Ministerial Meeting signifies China's commitment to fostering mutual understanding among civilizations for a future built on respect and cooperation.

In interviews with distinguished figures like Yves Leterme, former prime minister of Belgium, and Essam Sharaf, former prime minister of Egypt, one thing rings clear: sustainable peace hinges on recognizing and celebrating the unique identities of all nations and peoples.

Let's remember, every nation, regardless of its size, deserves an equal voice in the dialogue of civilizations. Let's embrace a world where mutual respect and understanding prevail.
