All performers, volunteers, institutions, and friends who supported this journey of culture and connection
From the aromas of Jiangnan tea to the harmonies of East–West music, from AI storytelling to heritage crafts, this event brought cultures together in unforgettable ways. The establishment of the Grand Canal–Sava River Cultural Industry Innovation Center marks only the beginning of deeper cooperation in culture, tourism, youth exchange, and digital innovation.
Together, we’ve planted the seeds of lasting friendship — and the future is full of possibilities.
With sincere thanks,
Zhaoyang International
