Following the success of the inaugural Regional Land  Forum  in  Hanoi  in  2016,  the  Second Regional  Land  Forum  was  held  from  28-30th May,  2018,  in  Bangkok.  The  Regional  Land Forum  aims  to  provide  a  multi-stakeholder platform  for  networking  and  dialogue  on  land governance  issues  across  the  Mekong  region, particularly  Cambodia,  Laos,  Myanmar  and Vietnam  (CLMV).  The  Second  Regional  Land Forum  attracted  280 participants  –  comprising government,   private   sector,   civil   society, researchers,   community   members,   donors, development partners and media – from across the region and wider, to China, India, as well as Africa, Europe and America. Throughout the Forum, and reflecting key issues in the region, there was a focus on land-based investments and recognition of customary tenure which are issues strongly affected by increasing pressures on natural resources in the region.

This occurs especially in places where legitimate tenure  rights  are  in  need  of  recognition  and respect. As  highlighted by the Mekong State of Land   Report,   many   countries   are   at   a crossroads trying to manage  investments in land and natural resources, internal migrations, and food  security  within  the  context  of  ongoing agrarian transitions.

Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839 but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both world wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the EEC (later the EU), and in 1999 it joined the euro currency area.

Luxembourg is constitutional monarchy.
