How can today's world, buffeted by headwinds, weather the challenges? During the 2025 Golden Panda forum in Chengdu, China, former Prime Minister of Greece George Papandreou called the four global initiatives proposed by China a roadmap for peace and cooperation. Greece and China share the same ancient culture of benevolence and amity. "If we listen to the echoes of ancient wisdom, we discover the same melody – dialogue, empathy, mutual understanding and respect are the foundations of lasting peace."
