East-West dialogue

East-West dialogue refers to discussions and interactions between countries and cultures from the Eastern and Western parts of the world, particularly during the Cold War period. This dialogue aimed to bridge ideological, political, and cultural differences between the East (often associated with communist countries) and the West (associated with capitalist countries). It sought to foster understanding, alleviate tensions, and promote cooperation on global issues such as trade, security, and cultural exchange. Overall, the dialogue represented an effort to find common ground despite significant differences in beliefs and governance.
