Officials and human rights experts from 11 countries gathered in Chengdu on Sunday for the opening leg of the Human Rights Action in China·2026 Sichuan tour, with participants citing the province's environmental conservation efforts as evidence of a rights framework centered on human well-being.

The delegation, which included representatives from the Maldives, Liberia, Serbia, France, and New Zealand, alongside Chinese human rights scholars and journalists, visited the Panda Valley conservation and biodiversity research base in Dujiangyan, as well as the Dujiangyan irrigation system, a UNESCO World Heritage site in continuous use since its construction more than 2,000 years ago.
