4 月 13 日，第六届中国国际消费品博览会在海南隆重开幕。国际奥艺委员会（WOAC）荣誉主席、联合国教科文组织前总干事伊琳娜・博科娃应邀出席盛会，并接受中央广播电视总台环球资讯专访，从全球治理、文化交流与可持续发展角度，高度评价消博会价值与中国开放发展成就。
As the Honorary President of WOAC, Bokova particularly emphasized the important value of cultural exchange. She believes that culture is an important bond for promoting dialogue, building consensus, and stimulating innovation. The CICPE is not only a platform for economic and trade cooperation but also builds an important bridge for cultural mutual learning and civilizational dialogue among countries and regions around the world, which highly aligns with WOAC’s mission to promote international cultural and artistic exchanges and facilitate multilateral cooperation.
作为国际奥艺委员会荣誉主席，博科娃特别强调文化交流的重要价值。她认为，文化是促进对话、凝聚共识、激发创新的重要纽带，而消博会不仅是经贸合作平台，更为世界各国和地区搭建了文化互鉴、文明对话的重要桥梁，与国际奥艺委员会推动国际文化艺术交流、促进多边合作的宗旨高度契合。
