The international Eurovision contest, which celebrates 70 years of its founding, will take place for the first time in Asia.
The last stage of the first "Eurovision Asia" will take place on Saturday in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. This competition, held in Europe since 1956, is one of the oldest and most popular music competitions in the world.
The first Asian round of this competition will feature representatives from 11 countries including Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Populous countries such as India, China, Japan and Indonesia are not present in this period.
The winner of the competition is chosen by an equal combination of the votes of the judging committees of the participating countries and the public vote. Audiences from other countries in the world can also participate in the vote.
