Competition to solicit ideas on Lantsang-Mekong regional development

The third Youth Innovation Competition on Lantsang-Mekong Region’s Governance and Development will be held in late January next year in Vientiane, capital of Laos, organizers announced today.

Initiated in 2016 to inspire students to work out innovative and feasible projects that offer suggestion and advice for the regional development and cultivate their international vision and cooperation capacity, it will be for the first time to be held outside of China and co-hosted by Fudan University, the National University of Laos, Shanghai International Culture Association, Guangxi University of Finance and Economics, the government of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and other parties.

The theme of next year’s competition will be “development of tourism and other green industries.”

As the world's ninth longest river, the Lantsang-Mekong River is the most important river in Asia, originating from China's Yushu, running through China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and finally into the South China Sea.

Connecting a total area of over 2,568,600 square kilometers and with a population of 320 million, the region is rich in natural and labor resources, but still underdeveloped. Therefore the event was initiated to promote cooperation among related countries and inspire wisdom from young students.
