The 8th ASEAN+3 Village Leaders Exchange Programme

Village leaders play an important role in rural development. This exchange program aims to strengthen capacity building of village leaders from ASEAN member countries, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan. The 5-day event will share good experiences on rural industrial development, poverty reduction, agricultural value chain, rural tourism, and others. Moreover, the program will provide a platform to discuss potential economic development and industrial cooperation, which may further bring substantial cooperation among the countries. A main feature of the program is village homestay, which enables ASEAN representatives to stay together with local villagers and experience their daily lives and culture.

Advocated by the PRC Premier Li Keqiang at the ASEAN+3 Summit 2013, the “ASEAN+3 Village Leader Exchange Programme” was launched the same year. From 2013 to 2018, seven training workshops and village stays in the PRC were conducted in Sichuan, Guangxi, Shanghai, Yunnan, and Beijing.
