Culture is a firm spiritual foundation that forges national character, unites collective strength, and plays a vital role in safeguarding independence, freedom and territorial integrity. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and deep international integration, culture also serves as a form of soft power, asserting the nation’s standing on the global stage.

Today’s world is witnessing profound and unpredictable changes. Armed conflicts, strategic competition between major powers, socio-economic crises, climate change, global epidemics… have created comprehensive shocks, challenging the value systems, development models and political systems of many countries.
