An initiative focused on the joint promotion of World Cultural Heritage was launched in Chongzuo, China, during the 2026 ASEAN-China Cultural Exchange Cooperation Forum. The event was held in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, highlighting the city’s role in regional cultural engagement.
The launch points to a wider effort to strengthen cultural links between China and ASEAN countries through heritage cooperation. By centering the discussion on World Cultural Heritage, the forum placed attention on preserving and presenting important cultural assets in a more coordinated way.
Hosting the forum in Chongzuo reflects Guangxi’s close connection to China-ASEAN exchanges. Its location and regional ties make it a natural setting for conversations about cross-border cultural collaboration and shared heritage promotion.
The new initiative adds momentum to ASEAN-China cultural cooperation and signals continued interest in using heritage as a bridge between neighboring countries. Based on the initial report, the forum served as a platform for advancing that shared cultural agenda.
