The Global Civilization Dialogue Ministerial Meeting will be held in Beijing on July 10 and 11. Over 600 guests from about 140 countries and regions have registered to attend.

During the Shandong tour before the meeting, Erdem Ilker Mutlu, chief advisor to the chairman of Turkiye's Patriotic Party, noted that the world will find peace as civilizations come to understand each other and interact with respect. He suggested that Confucian ideals about harmony and rituals can contribute to that peace.
