Situated on the ancient Silk Road, the UAE has long bridged East and West, he said. "Ancient trade routes linked this region to Mesopotamia, China, India and beyond, fostering the fusion of diverse cultures."

"All civilizations can thrive in peace and shared prosperity. Moving forward, we will continue to leverage exhibitions as a platform to strengthen our cultural bonds," he said.
