GUANGZHOU, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- A think tank report on the synergization of civilizations was unveiled on Wednesday in Guangzhou, the capital city of south China's Guangdong Province.
Titled "On the Synergization of Civilizations -- A Chinese Perspective," the report was issued by Xinhua Institute, a high-end think tank of Xinhua News Agency.
In his address, Fu Hua, president of Xinhua and chairman of the Institute's academic committee, said that Xinhua has in recent years produced a series of news stories and think tank reports on the building of China's cultural strength.
Xinhua will intensify its research in this area, draw wisdom and vigor from fine traditional Chinese culture, and fortify the cultural foundation for Chinese modernization, he noted.
Fu also stressed the need to grasp the prevailing trend of exchange and mutual learning among civilizations. He advocated for a global perspective when observing the development of civilizations and vowed to contribute even more to the shaping of a new form of human advancement.
Released at Sun Yat-sen University, the report puts forward the concept of civilizational integration, which embodies values centered on humanity, integrity and innovation, mutual learning through exchange, shared destiny and harmonious coexistence. It advocates for the inclusive co-existence of different civilizations while transcending historical, cultural, geographic and institutional differences.
