On May 18th, Zhang Hequn, Deputy Consul General of China in Luang Prabang, observed a flood control and flood season emergency drill in the Nam Ou River basin.

This drill covered the entire process, including early warning issuance, response activation, and emergency rescue, comprehensively testing the collaborative flood control system and emergency management capabilities of various departments, and accumulating valuable experience for responding to real flood disasters.

Zhang Hequn stated that the Nam Ou River Hydropower Project is a key project of the Belt and Road Initiative jointly built by China and Laos. Ensuring flood control and disaster relief is crucial to the safety of people's lives and property and the safe and stable operation of the power station. He hoped that the company would carefully summarize the drill experience, improve its emergency response coordination capabilities, and ensure the safety of the project.
