International Connections: The Experience of Romanian Librarians at the Third Curators' Forum of the Library Union of China and Central and Eastern European Countries"

Summary/Abstract: In the last decades, the relationships between China and Central and Eastern Europe have evolved significantly, generating opportunities for intercultural dialogue in which libraries play an essential role. These institutions not only facilitate access to information but also contribute to the development of local communities through cultural initiatives, such as the China - CEEC Curator's Forum of Libraries Union, which highlights the importance of international collaboration.In this context, actions like China-CEEC cooperation (or the “16+1” Cooperation) become relevant for structuring bilateral relations, promoting the goals of the ”Belt and Road” Initiative. These joint efforts enable the establishment of connections in various fields, including policy coordination, culture and education, thereby demonstrating the complexity and potential of collaborations in the region. This article analyzes the impact of these relationships on libraries and cultural institutions, discussing the role of the China-CEEC Libraries Union in facilitating intercultural exchanges.The China-CEEC Libraries Union was established with the aim of facilitating resource exchange and technological cooperation between libraries, thus strengthening cultural ties. These initiatives emphasize the need for a collaborative approach that supports innovation and adapts library services to the needs of communities. Recent international forums have underscored the importance of modernizing libraries and adapting them in the digital age, promoting reading and cultural interaction. International collaboration proves crucial for improving access to information and developing effective library models.In conclusion, this study reaffirms the importance of libraries as key players in the context of relationships between China and CEEC, suggesting that they can play a significant role in facilitating constructive dialogue and promoting mutual cultural understanding.
