Int'l Children's Forum Opens in Kunming

The Lancang-Mekong River Sub-regional International Children's Forum opened Saturday in Kunming, this capital city of southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Attending the five-day forum, which was held by the Provincial Education Department and Kunming Medical College, are educators with Australian Agency for International Development, United Nations Children's Fund, and some 60 children from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and other southeast Asian nations.

With the theme of protecting children's rights and interests, improving their living and health conditions and future development, the forum will arrange various activities to show the country's different health education programs, explore instructive educating methods with children's participation, and enhance educational exchanges and cooperation among nations around the Lancang-Mekong River.

The Lancang River, the fifth largest river in China, rises in the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows for a total of 4,500 kilometers from the Tibet Autonomous Region to Yunnan Province, joins the Mekong River in Laos, Burma, Thailand and Cambodia, and then flows into the South China Sea.
