A roundtable titled "China, Europe, and America: Cultural Exchanges for Peace and Progress" was held in Paris, France on May 23, 2025 (UTC+2). Over 50 guests from the cultural circles, art circles and academia in different countries, including China, France, Italy, and the United States, partook in in-depth discussions together.

Experts from China, Europe, and America deliver speeches during the section "The Role of Cultural Institutions in Fostering Understanding Between Cultures".

On topics such as "The Role of Cultural Institutions in Fostering Understanding Between Cultures", "The Future of Museums and Cultural Institutions", and "Harmony in Beauty: An International Dialogue on Beijing's Central Axis", the guests from different countries agreed that it is precisely in times of tension and uncertainty that the bonds between civilizations become particularly important. As the key players in the international community, China, Europe, and America should emphasize the value of cultural exchanges, gain inspiration from them in solving contemporary problems, and deepen their understanding of each other. Museums and cultural heritage items are, respectively, important platforms and carriers for exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations. Cultural institutions and museums in China, Europe, and America can closely cooperate on loan exhibitions and itinerant exhibitions, and strengthen the exchange of experiences in cultural relics' preservation and exhibition powered by technologies, to better convey the contemporary values of cultural heritage and highlight the multiple roles of museums.

The exhibition themed on the Central Axis opens in Paris.

As a supporting event of the forum, a photo exhibition themed "Beijing Central Axis: A Masterpiece Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital" opened in Paris on the same day. Featuring about 100 selected photos, the exhibition illustrates the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization embodied in Beijing's Central Axis.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-EU diplomatic relations, this event featured a mode marked by "government participation, platform-building by think tanks and cultural empowerment", aimed at contributing to the peaceful development of the world through dialogues between museums. It also highlighted the unique advantages of Beijing's role as the center for international exchanges, and promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
