In his speech Prof He Ming said, Intangible heritage is a crystallization of wisdom of older people in the world and it is a valuable tailor of human civilization. Bangladesh and China have a long history, the people of two countries have created bridge in intangible cultural heritage and both of them have made outstanding contribution to the construction of human spiritual world.
I hope that Bangladesh and China can carry out more exchanges in the future and make more significant contribution to the reservation and protection of intangible cultural heritage for both countries.
In his speech Prof Dr Abdur Rob Khan said, our cultural heritage is in crisis, two major sources can be identified as threats as well as protector of this intangible cultural heritage.
One is the state itself which is a protector. Another one is globalization which destroys cultural heritage. In the process of globalization cultural heritage is being destroyed. To protect the cultural heritage of a country the state has a very important role to play.
In his speech Prof Atiqul Islam, Vice-Chancellor, NSU said, culture heritage is a mirror of a country, we need to come forwards to the construction and protection of cultural heritage our country.
During this time, he added, we believe in research that has practical application, research that has some end user consequences, research that will help making government policies, research that will uniform economic policy of a country.
