The 2025 Golden Panda International Culture Forum kicked off in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Saturday. The forum, themed "Harmony in Diversity, A Future in Unity," brings together guests from China and abroad to exchange ideas and share perspectives.

H.E. Asif Ali Zardari, president of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, delivered a speech at the forum. "As we look forward to celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of our diplomatic relations next year, we are reminded that this relationship is more than a strategic partnership between states; it is a living testimony to the resilience of friendship between peoples," he said.
