School News Network (contributed by the School of Foreign Languages)From March 24 to 28, 2025, Portuguese Minister of State and Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel visited my country, and held the second strategic dialogue between China and Portugal's foreign ministers with Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, and held a speech at the Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the invitation of Beijing Foreign Studies University, 15 teachers and students from w88 casino games of our college attended the speech.

President Jia Wenjian of Beijing Foreign Studies University quoted the old Chinese saying "Those who are harmonious will not regard mountains and seas as far as they are concerned", emphasizing that China and Portugal will use mutual learning of civilizations to enhance understanding, and write a new chapter for win-win cooperation, and expressed their hope to contribute more youthful strength to China-Portugal cooperation.
In his speech, Foreign Minister Ranger introduced the historical and cultural origins, distribution areas and use of Portuguese, and spoke affectionately about his appreciation and understanding of literary giants such as Carmons, Antonio Vieira, Fernando Pessoa and other literary giants and their outstanding works. He pointed out that Portuguese is not only the carrier of Portuguese culture, but also the crystallization of multicultural culture. It has special significance for promoting multi-regional economic, cultural and w88 casino games cooperation and is an important medium for cross-cultural exchange.

In the interactive questioning session, Xia Yuao, a major in w88 casino games in our hospital, asked Foreign Minister Ranger in fluent w88 casino games: "For the minister, Portugal has distinct cultural symbols such as football, Fado, Pessoa, etc. So, which elements can best represent Chinese culture in your heart?" The Foreign Minister started from football: "There is a dragon on the team logo of the Porto football team. Every time I see it, I think of China - the dragon is one of the deepest symbols of Chinese civilization." Then , He further explained: "Ceramics, silk, and Chinese characters are not only Chinese cultural symbols, but also brilliant treasures in the history of human civilization. From a philosophical perspective, the continuity and inclusiveness of Chinese culture have always attracted the attention of the world. It not only shaped the unique character of Eastern civilization, but also contributed wisdom and strength to the progress of human society." The minister's answer not only narrowed the distance between the two countries' culture with concrete images, but also showed the world significance of Chinese culture from a macro perspective. The teachers and students on the scene gave warm applause.

This lecture unveiled the deep texture of civilized dialogue for teachers and students, and gave China-w88 casino games relations a vivid contemporary connotation from a high-level humanistic perspective. w88 casino games students deeply realize that the significance of language learning has transcended instrumental value. Language is the key to decoding cultural genes and is also the call of duty for the young generation to become the "ferryman" of China-w88 casino games exchanges. The more far-reaching inspiration lies in the inclusive mind of "making friends through literature and helping benevolence with friends".
