Harvey Dzodin: Conference illustrates importance of dialogue
Participating in the Dialogue of Asian Civilizations last week was a highlight of my year. It was a rich experience in every respect, from people-to-people exchanges to formal and informal information-sharing. True to its theme of “exchanges and mutual learning among Asian civilizations and a community with a shared future”, there was an abundant flow of ideas and information. I even found healthy dollops of idealism and optimism at a time when there is so much global cynicism and zero-sum thinking in our world.

Laurence Brahm: Conference provides opportunity for new paradigm
The Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations taking place in Beijing from May 15 to 16 is using open dialogue to establish a fresh set of universal values founded on the core heritage and culture of very ancient civilizations. The Silk Road historically was the economic order for thousands of years. It was a technology shift, as high-sea sailing vessels and the industrialization of arms caused overland trading routes to fall into disuse. The outcome was economic might shifting to coastal regions. A system of colonization emerged, followed by a post-colonial era that sought to maintain the status quo. Today, another technology shift — high-speed rails, smart road systems, telecommunications and 5G wireless — are changing the economic paradigm and reviving overland trading routes. China calls it the “Belt and Road.” Another way of understanding it is a new Silk Road, or even a “Cyber Silk Road.”
