Egypt’s former prime minister Essam Sharaf recently underscored the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI) as a game changer in fostering dialogue, trust, and mutual understanding. He emphasized that the GCI can pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive world order.
Sharaf also highlighted the deep-rooted ties between China and Egypt. Drawing on the legacy of the ancient Silk Road, these millennia-old connections have been revitalized under Chinese President Xi Jinping’s leadership alongside the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). He believes that merging historical wisdom with modern cooperation can drive global development and human progress.
For young trailblazers everywhere, Sharaf’s message is clear: "If the young people respect and absorb others and accept diversity, our world will be definitely better." This call to embrace cultural diversity and mutual respect resonates deeply with today’s vibrant, tech-savvy, and socially conscious youth in South and Southeast Asia. Let’s channel this energy toward building a brighter, interconnected future! 😊
