The 11th China-ASEAN Youth Camp cum 4th China-ASEAN Youth Summit theme for this year’s summit is: Uniting Youths, Inspiring Change: Paving the Way for a China-ASEAN Future.
2019 marks the 16th year of cooperation and friendship between China and ASEAN. Last year’s ASEAN-China Summit, which commemorated the 15th Anniversary of ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity, saw the signing of the “China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership Vision 2030”, embracing a new era of peace, security and common prosperity. In this vision, youths play a crucial role in furthering China-ASEAN cooperation.
From 2008, the national-level China-ASEAN Youth Camp has been successfully providing students from each ASEAN country a platform to explore Chinese culture and gain insight into the Chinese perspective. Through cultural exchange and immersion, the China-ASEAN Youth Camp has built a solid foundation for the friendship between Chinese and ASEAN youths. This year, the 11th China-ASEAN Youth Camp will be held in conjunction with Peking University School of International Studies’ signature conference – the China-ASEAN Youth Summit – at Peking University.
Through a series of rigorous model-ASEAN conferences, youth delegates will explore China-ASEAN political, economic, social and cultural cooperation prospects through an academic and policy-driven approach. This year’s summit will also feature panel discussions and forums, centered on the theme of innovation and technological possibilities, where experts from academia, as well as the corporate and political world congregate to look into the future of China-ASEAN relations.
