KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Openness for dialogue between Malaysia and China plays a key role in strengthening civilizational exchanges and enhancing people-to-people relations by bridging differences, according to academics and experts at a forum here on Thursday.

The Global Civilization Initiative, proposed by China, holds significant theoretical and practical value in promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, building a just and equitable international order, and enhancing mutual understanding, Shao Liang, counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia, told the "Youth Responsibility in a Shared Future: Islamic-Confucian Dialogue and New Horizons for Malaysia-China Cooperation" forum.

"We are living in a time of tremendous global uncertainty," said Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan, president of the Malaysia-China Friendship Association, noting that in response to global challenges, there is an urgent need to embrace civilizational dialogue.

Majid also called on young people to bravely shoulder the responsibilities of the times, promote the ideals of peace, and commit themselves to building an inclusive and harmonious global future.

For his part, Osman Bakar, rector of International Islamic University Malaysia, said that in today's increasingly diverse world, cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Malaysia and China are more important than ever.

He stated that through dialogue and cooperation, young people can become bridges that connect different civilizations, resolve differences, and promote shared values.

The participating youth representatives generally agreed that young people should contribute to cultural exchange and civilizational dialogue between Malaysia and China.
