Beijing, October 15 (Xinhua) — Regarding the China Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo winning the gold medal for large-scale self built exhibition at this year’s World Expo, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated on the 15th that the excellent traditional cultural concepts of China demonstrate significant contemporary value in solving current global challenges, and China will continue to contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions deeply rooted in Eastern civilization to solve the problems of the times.
At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: According to reports, the China Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo recently won the Osaka World Expo Large scale Self built Pavilion Exhibition Gold Award from the International Exhibition Bureau. This is the 17th time that the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, on behalf of the Chinese government, has organized the China Pavilion to participate in an overseas World Expo and has won the award for the first time. The Secretary General of the International Exhibition Bureau stated that the China Pavilion not only allows visitors to experience China’s thousands of years of history and culture, but also showcases China’s outstanding development plans and responsibilities for the future society. What is the spokesperson’s comment on this?
First of all, we congratulate the China Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo on winning the award, “said Lin Jian. The China Pavilion is based on the traditional ecological wisdom of Chinese civilization and the concept and achievements of green development in the new era. It looks forward to the beautiful vision of countries building a community of shared life between humans and nature, and has become one of the most popular national pavilions at this World Expo.
Lin Jian stated that the excellent traditional Chinese cultural concepts demonstrate significant contemporary value in addressing current global challenges. From the responsibility of “working together with one heart” to the big country vision of “inclusiveness”, from the philosophy of “harmony is the most precious” to the exchange criteria of “faithfulness and harmony”, China has proposed to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, as well as the four major global initiatives and the “the Belt and Road” initiative, which are vivid expressions of these ideas, highly consistent with the common values of all mankind, and widely recognized and supported by the international community.
In today’s world where peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit, and governance deficit continue to grow, China will continue to uphold the moral sentiment of ‘the world is for all’ and the responsibility of a great power, and contribute the Chinese wisdom and solutions deeply rooted in Eastern civilization to solve the problems of the times, “said Lin Jian.
