How cultural exchanges foster friendship among peoples

Published

on

How can cultural exchanges foster friendship among peoples and promote mutual learning between civilizations? CGTN has published an article examining how cooperation in culture, education, tourism and heritage preservation helps strengthen understanding and trust across borders.

“China and Egypt share many cultural similarities,” Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, said on Wednesday, as she praised the exquisite exhibits for fully showcasing the wisdom and unique aesthetic sensibilities of the Egyptian people.

While chatting over tea and visiting a small handicrafts exhibition in Cairo with Entissar El-Sisi, wife of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Peng said Egypt has a long history and a profound cultural heritage. She expressed the hope that artists from the two countries would strengthen exchanges and cooperation to allow traditional crafts to continue to shine with renewed vitality through inheritance and mutual learning.

Deepening people-to-people exchanges

“Known for their age-old civilizations, China and Egypt have each contributed an invaluable intellectual legacy and splendid cultural heritage to the progress of humanity.” In a signed article published in Egyptian media on Tuesday ahead of his state visit to Egypt, Xi said that across time and space, the two civilizations have been reaching out to each other, writing new chapters in the everlasting friendship between the two peoples.

The China-Egypt relationship has always been an example of friendship and mutual learning. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, exchanges and mutual learning between the two civilizations have continued to deepen.

From the launch of the China-Egypt joint archaeological project at the Montu Temple in Luxor in 2018 to the joint project at Saqqara in 2024, cooperation between the two countries in archaeology has advanced steadily. The 2025 exhibition “On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt” at the Shanghai Museum featured 788 precious artifacts, more than 95% of which were displayed in Asia for the first time. It attracted more than 2.77 million visits.

In Egypt, there has been a Chinese language learning craze for years. The country was among the first Arab and African countries to introduce Chinese-language education. Today, 36 Egyptian universities have Chinese language departments, while 41 secondary schools in 10 provinces offer Chinese as an elective subject, according to official figures from the Chinese Embassy in Egypt.

Egypt has also long been a popular tourist destination for Chinese visitors. Chinese tourists made more than 360,000 visits to Egypt in 2025, up 20% year on year, Chinese official data shows. More than 30 direct flights operate between the two countries each week.

Mutual learning among civilizations

Peng has long been committed to promoting cultural exchanges and fostering mutual understanding and friendship among peoples. When attending an event for spouses of leaders participating in the 2026 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Bishkek on Tuesday, she invited Kyrgyz artists to visit China for more performances and cultural exchanges so as to give Chinese audiences a closer look at the country’s rich ethnic culture.

This echoes China’s broader call for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. When proposing the Global Civilization Initiative in March 2023, Xi said tolerance, coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations play an irreplaceable role in advancing humanity’s modernization process.

“We advocate robust international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation,” Xi said, stressing that countries need to explore the building of a global network for inter-civilization dialogue and cooperation to promote mutual understanding and friendship among people of all countries.

Leor Zlotnik sets a personal standard for how design decisions get made

Published

on

A standard, not a slogan

Illinois, USA, Sep 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Leor Zlotnik has spent years building LZ Interiors on a specific idea: a beautiful room means nothing if the client got a bad deal to build it. Now that idea has a name and a set of rules attached to it.

The standard is simple to state. Every recommendation made to a client has to answer one question first: does this serve the homeowner, or does it serve a vendor, a trend, or a commission. If the answer is not clearly the homeowner, the recommendation does not go out.

“I did not want this to live in a mission statement and nowhere else,” Zlotnik said. “It has to change what happens on a Tuesday afternoon when a fabric sample comes in and it is gorgeous and it is also marked up 40 percent past what it should be.”

What the standard actually checks

The practice breaks down into a few concrete habits, applied on every project rather than as a one-time audit.

Every material gets sourced back to its actual price. Before a fabric, stone, or fixture goes into a presentation, Zlotnik’s team traces what it costs at the source, not just what a showroom quotes. Clients see the gap when there is one.

Every vendor recommendation gets a reason attached. LZ Interiors does not present options as a menu. Each one comes with a plain explanation of why it is there and what it costs the client if it fails in real use, not just on a mood board.

Construction pitfalls get flagged before they get expensive. A material that photographs well but wears poorly, or a layout that looks clean on paper but creates a maintenance problem later, gets called out at the design stage, when it is cheap to change, instead of after installation, when it is not.

No recommendation ships without the “who does this help” test. It is the same question, applied every time: this choice benefits the homeowner first, or it does not go in the plan.

Why Zlotnik is formalizing it now

LZ Interiors built its reputation on a highly curated aesthetic, the kind that photographs well and travels well on Instagram. Zlotnik has been direct about wanting the practice behind that aesthetic to hold up just as well.

“Anyone can show a client a beautiful photo,” Zlotnik said. “The harder job is telling them exactly what that photo is made of, what it costs to actually build it, and where someone might try to take advantage of them along the way. That is the job I actually signed up for.”

That distinction, between showing a client a vision and handing them the decisions behind it, has shaped how LZ Interiors operates from the start. Formalizing it as a standard is meant to make sure it does not get diluted as the studio takes on more work.

What clients can expect going forward

Under the standard, clients working with LZ Interiors should expect line-item transparency on materials and sourcing, a plain explanation for every vendor on a project, and early warning on any choice that carries hidden risk once construction starts.

Zlotnik describes the goal in blunt terms: fewer surprises, fewer overpaid line items, and a client who understands what they bought and why, at every stage of the process.

“I would rather lose a sale than let someone spend six figures on something I know will not hold up,” Zlotnik said. “That is not a slogan. That is just what I am willing to put my name on.”
