On Aug. 12, the opening ceremony of the Youth Action on Green Agri-Heritage: Global Cultural Symbiosis was launched in Shanghai, coinciding with International Youth Day. The event was designed to forge synergies between China’s agricultural cultural heritage and global youth-driven innovation via field visits, international youth roundtable dialogues and co-creation camps.
As a key part of the event, young representatives from various countries visited the Laos Economic and Trade Cooperation Expo in Yangpu District, where they explored displays of Lao agricultural specialties and achievements in green agriculture, gaining first-hand insight into China–Laos exchanges and cooperation in agricultural heritage protection and sustainable development.
The exhibition hall serves not only as an important window for China–Laos economic and trade exchanges, but is also becoming a platform for the global promotion of agricultural heritage, advancing the exchange of sustainable agricultural technologies, and fostering youth innovation and cooperation.
The youth exchange, along with the Youth Action on Green Agri-Heritage Visual Screening Event and Reception was held at the exhibition hall, where young people from China, Laos and other countries engaged in in-depth discussions on agricultural heritage conservation, digital agriculture, and green trade, laying a solid foundation for a series of upcoming youth activities to be held in Vientiane, Laos.
