The source of the Lancang River that I see is an unspoiled natural beauty, with streams, snow capped mountains, and dense forests - it's like a paradise on earth, "said Liang Yanhua, the general manager of Myanmar's Golden Phoenix Chinese Newspaper." Here, we will have a deeper awareness of the importance of ecological protection in the source of the Lancang River and its surrounding areas. On the 20th, as an important event of the 2024 Lancang Mekong International Imaging Week, the "Tent Tea Gathering" was held in Nangqian County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. This is an important ecological protection area and ecological barrier in the Lancang Mekong River Basin. Media guests and related organization guests from countries in the Lancang Mekong River Basin freely expressed their opinions on topics such as initial impressions of Qinghai and Yushu, and the role that media should play in promoting Lancang Mekong cooperation, for the present and the future. The Lancang Mekong River originates from Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, China, on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. It winds for nearly ten thousand miles and tightly connects China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In March 2016, the first leaders' meeting of the Lancang Mekong Cooperation was successfully held, announcing the official launch of the Lancang Mekong Cooperation mechanism. Liang Yanhua believes that in the past eight years, the Lancang Mekong countries have made significant progress in media cooperation. However, based on the current situation, she suggests establishing a Lancang Mekong news sharing platform to achieve real-time sharing of news resources, jointly planning and producing documentaries about the culture of the Lancang Mekong Basin, and enhancing public awareness and interest in Lancang Mekong culture. In terms of the application and cooperation of new media technologies, the quality and efficiency of Lancang Mekong reporting can be improved through big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and other means Liang Yanhua said. Having worked in the industry for more than 30 years, MONGKHOL BANGPRAPHA, a senior journalist for the Bangkok Post in Thailand, said that in the past few years, Thai media have been reporting more and more on the culture of the Lancang Mekong River Basin countries. "Long term cooperation between media from Lancang Mekong River Basin countries is very important, which can promote the formation of consensus among the people here. I support media exchange of knowledge among Lancang Mekong countries and hope to have the opportunity to participate in more similar activities," said CHEA VANNAK, Director of Overseas News Department of Cambodia's National News Agency. "I have been to China many times, but this time I came to Qinghai and had a very good impression because I saw the source of the Lancang Mekong River, which was my happiest moment. The colors of every mountain and river, as well as the biodiversity, are very surprising. This area is full of vitality, although the altitude is' unfriendly ', there are abundant organisms here Kang Peng, Deputy Director of the Office of the Laos China Cooperation Committee of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Laos, said. Kang Peng often pays attention to cooperation between countries, and the Lancang Mekong Cooperation is no exception. He said that the countries in the Lancang Mekong River Basin are "sharing the same river water and closely connected in destiny", natural partners and eternal friendly neighbors, and the media should play a greater role in Lancang Mekong cooperation. Hu Zhongyi, the president of the Qinghai branch of China News Service, concluded that the media representatives who participated in the "Tent Tea Gathering" shared their views on topics such as economy, culture, cooperation, exchange, and challenges. It can be seen that everyone drinks from the same river and has the same desire for cooperation and development. They hope that the Lancang Mekong River will become more beautiful, the friendship between the people of Lancang Mekong countries will become deeper, the development of Lancang Mekong countries will become better, and Lancang Mekong cooperation will become better.
