Page 13 - 2022(1) International Confusion Studies

6 Y. Fukuda

In his keynote speech at the International Symposium to Commemorate the
2565th Anniversary of the Birth of Confucius, on September 24, 2014, Chinese
president Xi Jiping pointed out that promotion of communication, integration, and
mutual learning between human civilizations is the only way for the world to
become more beautiful and people of all countries to live a better life.
It is my sincere hope that the world will become more beautiful and life will
become better with Confucianism as food for thought.
It is my earnest expectation that International Confucian Studies will serve as
an index of happiness, presenting a human world full of smiles.
