Step into Nanning – the vibrant capital of China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where steaming bowls of 'laoyou' rice noodles🍜 aren’t the only thing warming hearts. This border city is now the stage for a groundbreaking World Mayors Dialogue, uniting leaders from ASEAN hubs like Vientiane, Yangon, and Siem Reap! 🌆
Known as China’s gateway to Southeast Asia, Nanning blends rich cultural heritage with cutting-edge regional cooperation. On January 18, CGTN’s Wang Guan will host mayors and city managers to explore urban innovation and cross-border collaboration – all part of building a closer 'China-ASEAN amicable home.' 🏙️
Why care? From sustainable city planning to cultural exchanges, these discussions could shape how young entrepreneurs, travelers, and professionals engage with one of the world’s most dynamic regions. Mark your calendars for 9 p.m. Beijing Time – this is diplomacy meets real-world action, served Nanning-style! 🤝
