Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday put forward a four-point proposal for solidifying the cultural foundation of building Asian community of shared future and a community with a shared future for the entire humanity.
Xi offered the proposal while addressing the opening of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations in Beijing.
"We need to strengthen exchanges between different countries, different nationalities and different cultures and consolidate the cultural foundation of jointly building Asian community of shared future and a community with a shared future for humanity," he stressed.
The president underscored the importance of mutual respect and equal treatment among civilizations.
"It is foolish to believe that one's race and civilization are superior to others', and it is disastrous to willfully reshape or even replace other civilizations," he said.
Xi urged countries to "create conditions for other civilizations to develop while keeping their own vibrant."
"We should leave various civilizations in the world all in full blossom," he said.
There would be no clash of civilizations as long as people are able to appreciate the beauty of them all, Xi said.
The president also stressed the need to ensure openness, inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations.
Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations should be conducted in a reciprocal and equal manner, and be diversified and multi-directional, Xi said, noting they should not be compulsory or forced, or be a one-way flow.
"We need to be broad-minded and strive to remove all barriers to cultural exchanges. We need to be inclusive and always seek nutrients from other civilizations to promote the common development of Asian civilizations through exchanges and mutual learning," he said.
The Chinese president also said that civilizations need to keep pace with the times, adding that innovation should be encouraged to give impetus and vitality to the progress of civilizations.
"The best way to spur people's inventiveness and creativity is to come to contact with different civilizations, see the strengths of others, and draw upon them," he said.
Under the theme of "exchanges and mutual learning among Asian civilizations and a community with a shared future", the conference includes a welcome dinner, an opening ceremony, thematic forums, the Asian Culture Carnival and the Asian Civilization Week.
