Denver – Recently, Mr. Mark Henderson, Deputy Secretary-General of the World Academy of Agricultural Sciences (WAAS), travelled to Denver, United States, for a working meeting with Mr. Thomas Carter, Secretariat Head of the World Society for Nestorian History and Culture Studies.

As one of the ancient Eastern denominations of Christianity, Nestorianism stands as an important historical symbol of civilisational exchange and mutual learning along the Silk Road. During the meeting, Mark Henderson elaborated on the mission, recent research achievements and long-term development objectives of WAAS. He highlighted the Academy’s work for global food security, including advancing sustainable agriculture, boosting grain production capacity and empowering agricultural technology in less-developed regions. He stated that food security concerns all humankind, and WAAS looks forward to maintaining open dialogue with international organisations from diverse civilisational backgrounds, pooling joint efforts to tackle global agricultural challenges.

Thomas Carter spoke highly of WAAS’s practical achievements in global agriculture and food security. He remarked that science knows no borders and humanity’s shared development requires joint creation by all parties. The Society will fully support WAAS’s endeavours for global food security and explore cooperative avenues that integrate cultural exchange with agricultural public welfare.

Both sides agreed that friendly exchanges between cross-sector international organisations help broaden channels for pluralistic dialogue. This meeting serves as a valuable communication link and lays a foundation for potential future cooperation in cultural communication, international agricultural public welfare, science popularisation and other fields.
