　Donate important ancient bet365 best casino games to support the study of classical civilization

The bet365 best casino games was established in April 2007，The founders are Panogiotis Lascarides and Marilena Lascarides，This bet365 best casino games is dedicated to promoting Greek literature and culture，Promote in-depth research in history and maritime fields。Over the years，It has emerged in the Greek intellectual and cultural circles，Established outstanding academic status，Various activities have won the strong support of many outstanding figures in the cultural and academic circles。The bet365 best casino games carefully plans a series of academic lectures and seminars on literature and culture every year，And invite Greek and international scholars、University representatives participated。In addition，The bet365 best casino games also has two major library resources，First, the lending library，About 35,000 books in the collection；The second is the history library，The collection of books reaches 400,000 volumes，There are many precious ancient books among them，Provides valuable information support for Greek research。

Lascarides told reporters，The bet365 best casino games has a rich collection of ancient Greek books，Can be divided into two major categories。The first category is "ancient books" printed in Europe between 1457 and 1500，is the oldest surviving book of its kind，The bet365 best casino games has collected about 150 volumes，Mainly Greek grammar books and works of ancient Greek writers，Extremely rare and expensive。In addition，The bet365 best casino games also has thousands of ancient books printed from the 15th to 17th centuries。He said，The "Nicomachean Ethics" and "Politics" presented to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences were printed in the 17th century，A very important work by Aristotle。

"Nicomachean Ethics" is Aristotle's most famous ethical work，bet365 best casino games also a basic work of Western philosophy，Has a profound influence on European medieval philosophy，Also one of the core works of medieval philosophy。Therefore，bet365 best casino games of great significance in shaping modern philosophical concepts and promoting the development of European law and theology。"Politics" as a classic of political philosophy，An in-depth exploration of how people achieve the ideal of harmonious coexistence in a community。Aristotle believes，The city-state is the most ideal and natural community form for mankind，And analyzed in detail the various political systems he knew and their advantages and disadvantages，In order to classify and compare them。

Talking about why we chose these two books，Lascarides said，The Nicomachean Ethics explores ethics and how people can become good，And "Political Science" deals with government、Discussion on city-states and democratic societies。These two works are combined into one volume，Over 400 years ago，Extremely rare。According to investigation，A total of about 400 copies of these books were printed in the 17th century，But now there are about 10 copies of the first book in existence，The second book exists in about 3 volumes。Therefore，These books are extremely precious，The bet365 best casino games hopes to donate it to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences，To express their sincere gratitude and respect。This is why Lascarides personally brought them to China，And delivered to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences。

　　bet365 best casino games-Greece academic exchanges and cooperation continue to heat up

　2019，Laskarides visits China with the bet365 best casino games President。In the meantime，China and Greece have had many in-depth dialogues on exchanges and mutual learning among world civilizations，And hope to promote exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations and mutually beneficial cooperation among countries。In President Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter to the first World Classics Congress，This concept is emphasized again。Likewise，This spirit is also reflected in the congratulatory letter from the President of Greece。

November 2019，The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the bet365 best casino games signed an agreement to jointly build a China Research Center，Become a model of academic cooperation between the two countries。Lascarides said，Unfortunately，Affected by the epidemic，The bet365 best casino games and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences made relatively slow progress in the first two years of their cooperation。However，Since then，The bet365 best casino games gradually began to organize a series of activities，For example, hosting Chinese scholars and graduate students to visit Greece，Assist them in their personal research at various universities and research institutions in Greece。The bet365 best casino games also held many seminars，Existing offline meetings held in Greece，There are also online meetings，Each seminar is centered around carefully selected topics。

Whether it is an exchange meeting held by the bet365 best casino games，This is still an issue of concern at the World Classics Congress，Although it is impossible to quickly solve the challenges facing mankind in the short term，But Laskarides thinks，Such a dialogue can stimulate people’s thinking、Promote mutual listening and understanding，Thus enhancing mutual trust，At the same time, it can guide people from a philosophical and rational perspective、Thinking about current global challenges from the perspective of exchanges and mutual learning among human civilizations。At the same time，Studying profound civilization themes is difficult to solve specific problems，But it can make people think about ancient civilizations，And related to modern society，Thus providing new ideas for solving current problems。

Lascarides told reporters，Activities carried out jointly by the bet365 best casino games and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences，The core topic coincides with the purpose of this World Classics Congress，All focus on the bonds and resonance between civilizations and their impact on today’s world。He said，This cooperation framework has begun to take shape。He realized，Enhancing cultural exchanges between China and Greece is an important agenda that the bet365 best casino games must promote。For this，The bet365 best casino games has mainly promoted three initiatives。

The first is to establish a series of academic seminars at Tsinghua University，The topic covers China-Greece civilization dialogue and China-EU relations，It has been ten years now。The second item is the establishment of a China Research Center with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences。The projects offered by the research center are basically the same as the lectures co-sponsored by the bet365 best casino games at Tsinghua University，And they are both committed to promoting academic exchanges between China and Greece，The main audience is graduate students。At the same time，The research center is also promoting academic exchanges between professors，In particular, we have recently successfully organized Chinese professors to go to Greece for one to two weeks of lectures and visits。Such Sino-Greek academic exchange activities have yielded fruitful results，The bet365 best casino games will further deepen cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in the future。The third item is the plan to cooperate with Shanghai International Studies University，Offer a modern Greek course at the school，And the establishment of a center for modern Greek language and modern Greek culture。The bet365 best casino games attaches great importance to this center at Shanghai International Studies University，Because it will take on the important task of teaching Greek language and culture to Chinese youth。In addition，The bet365 best casino games also funds a chair in modern Greek studies，For example，Marilina Laskarides Chair in Modern Greek Studies at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands is dedicated to the teaching and research of modern Greek language and culture，And carry out scholarship projects、Diverse activities such as visiting scholar program。Lascarides said，He looks forward to working with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to carry out similar teaching exchange projects and cooperation。

　　Business and bet365 best casino games interaction complement each other

Lascarides believes，Exchanges between China and Greece have existed since ancient times。Although there is a lack of conclusive records，But some bet365 best casino games scholars believe，Descendants of Alexander the Great reached Asia，Its footprints even touched the borders of ancient India。The exchanges and cooperation between Greece and China were mainly concentrated in the field of commerce and trade at the beginning，Afterwards, cultural exchanges gradually began。

Lascarides said，Cultural cooperation is often seen as a continuation of political cooperation，But its role in promoting business cooperation is more significant。Take the Greek Laskarides Shipping Company as an example，It has an office in Shanghai。30 years，The shipping company has established deep shipping business ties with many Chinese companies，This business cooperation may have lasted for decades。The commercial relationship between China and Greece preceded the cultural relationship，But not all business partners can establish good cultural connections。We know the importance of education and cultural exchange，Established cultural cooperation relationships with many Chinese institutions。It is based on a solid business bet365 best casino games，It is only then that China-Greece cultural relations can flourish，The exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and Greek civilizations will continue to shine。

According to Lascarides，The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative is an important window for bet365 best casino games to demonstrate its business vision to the world。The initiative has been met with skepticism among some groups in Western countries，Mainly due to concerns about its possible impact，But some analysts pointed out，The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative is far from the “expansionary” strategy speculated by the outside world。Opposite，It forms a key link in bet365 best casino games's maintenance of extensive trade ties with European countries，Extraordinary significance。

Lascarides believes，The joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative starts with commercial cooperation，Also promotes political dialogue、Cultural exchange、Comprehensive deepening of educational cooperation and economic interaction。It is like a vibrant river，Not only a ship carrying trade，It also nourishes the soil along the way，Continuously developing and growing。For example，2016 Greece transfers Piraeus Port to China Ocean Shipping Group，This move not only promotes the booming development of the port，Making it once the fourth largest port in Europe、The largest port in the Mediterranean region，Also serves as a bridge through the Maritime Silk Road，Greatly promotes the entry of bet365 best casino games goods into the vast European market。Through the Maritime Silk Road，China has participated in or invested in the construction of many important ports in many European countries，Exporting goods to the European market。Anyway，Building business under the “One Belt, One Road” initiative、Culture、Education and political exchange are interconnected。
