Present were also 84 delegates from dozens of other countries including Japan, USA, Canada, England, Norway, Pakistan, Nepal, Russian, Mongolia and etc.

In order to broaden the sight of CliC-relavent scientific activities for Asian nations and hammer down on some specific implication plans, the conference evolved around the following aspects:

1)      glacier distribution and variation;

2)      conditions of frost/permo-frost and their changes;

3)      hydrology and water resources in cold regions;

4)      land surface and atmospheric process in cold and alpine regions;

5)      large-scale interactions between cryosphere and atmosphere;

6)      data base of cryosphere;

7)      satellite and ground observation of the cryosphere;

8)      cryospheric models;

9)      strategic research plans for the cryosphere.

The conference also discussed the hosting place for the next CliC conference (initially in PRC).
