"I'm impressed by what China has achieved in digital applications in education and culture during the past decade," said Agshin Aliyev, PhD, head of the Azerbaijani Language Department at the School of Asian Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University.

"We have also witnessed China's efforts for its culture going global and telling China's stories to foreign friends. What the world urgently needs now is communication and cooperation, through which we can promote peace and stability."
