The first China-European Union (EU) High-Level Cultural Forum serves as a bridge between the two sides, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said Wednesday.

"In the past 35 years, we have built a strong partnership," Barroso said at the opening ceremony. "We need a bridge between our culture and our people that will help us understand and learn from each other.

"The forum provides that bridge," he said.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said at the ceremony that "the forum symbolizes a great step in our interactions."

Culture, he said, is a bridge that connects people's hearts and minds and creates a bond between countries.

Androulla Vassiliou, the European Commission member responsible for education, culture, multilingualism and youth, said Europe and China share common goals.

"We both want peace and prosperity for the people of our countries and the rest of the world," she said. "Our cultural richness uplifts and unites us. In a globalized world, our cultural diversity is an asset, not an obstacle. It makes our lives richer and helps us grow and live in harmony with one another."

The forum opened in Brussels on Wednesday in the margins of the 13th China-EU Summit.

The forum is an initiative agreed during the previous summit in Nanjing, China, in November 2009, where attending leaders decided to hold an annual high-level cultural forum in Europe and China alternately.

The two-day forum brought together about 60 scholars and artists from China and the EU to discuss the values and concepts that have built the two civilizations.
