In his opening address, David Gosset, founder of the China-Europe-America Global Initiative, emphasized the importance of fostering dialogue and finding common ground in an increasingly interconnected world. Reflecting on the mission of the initiative, Gosset stated, "It is essential to convene, share ideas, and find common ground. Recognizing this necessity, we established the China-Europe-America Global Initiative in 2021, acknowledging the risks of decoupling. Only by constructing bridges can we cultivate trust, enabling humanity to become more conscious of itself and its collective destiny."

Gosset further underscored the significance of this year's focus on creativity, highlighting its role as a catalyst for unity and progress. "Creativity, to me, is a force of construction amidst the chaos. While destruction may come easily, and by itself, the act of creation requires resilience and vision," he remarked. "Whether it's the crafting of beauty, the innovation in science and technology, or the transformation of societal norms, creators share a common goal: to defy the passage of time."

Throughout the dialogue, participants explored various dimensions of creativity, ranging from its expression in art and culture to its application in scientific and technological innovation. The exchange of ideas and experiences served to deepen mutual appreciation and inspire new avenues for collaboration across borders.
