We were invited by the Embassy to celebrate the ties between Poland and France at a reception accompanied by piano music in an iconic venue: the Hôtel de Monaco, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful hotels in Paris! The evening honored the Polish diaspora and young people living throughout Europe, who actively contribute to Poland's dynamism and make it one of the driving forces of the European economy.

We are taking advantage of a day of research at the archives of the Commission on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China (CSCPRC) in Washington, D.C. to reiterate our deep commitment to understanding between nations, which can be fundamentally built through research and scientific collaboration. The history of this commission is a telling example: in the midst of the Cold War, when ideological tensions divided the world, the United States and China were able to forge lasting ties through scientific missions and academic exchanges.

This scientific diplomacy made it possible to maintain a constructive dialogue beyond political antagonisms, proving that the pursuit of knowledge and the sharing of knowledge can transcend borders and rivalries. At a time when geopolitical tensions are resurfacing, it is essential to remember that scientific cooperation remains a privileged vehicle for mutual understanding and lasting peace between peoples.

I am delighted to have participated in the international symposium on consciousness and the nature of reality, organized by Mohammed VI University in Benguérir, Morocco. This high-level interdisciplinary gathering provided an opportunity for fascinating dialogue between renowned scientists, philosophers, and researchers who came together to explore one of the most fundamental questions of our time: the intersection between human consciousness and quantum physics.
