"I observe that it (dialogue between civilizations) will be very useful for international relations, peace and security in the world," said Erdem Ilker Mutlu, chief advisor to the chairman of Turkiye's Patriotic Party. He suggested that Confucian ideas about harmony and ritual could help bring peace to the world.

Known as Niqiu Hill in ancient times, it is revered as the birthplace of Confucius, the great philosopher and educator whose ideas have influenced the world.
