THIRD MEKONG SUMMIT/EVENT
Leaders of the six GMS countries are meeting in Vientiane, Laos on March 30 and 31 to discuss ways to deepen economic cooperation for their countries' shared prosperity.
High on their agenda is to improve connectivity to help expand markets, improve access to social services, and protect the environment in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). The GMS covers the six countries sharing the Mekong River -- Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The economic cooperation program (the GMS Program) was started in 1992 by the six Mekong countries. It involves planning and carrying out sub-regional projects in nine areas: transport, energy, telecommunications, tourism, environment, human resource development, agriculture, trade facilitation, and private investment. With the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other development partners, the GMS Program is helping the six Mekong countries foster economic growth and reduce poverty through increased connectivity, improved competitiveness and a greater sense of community.
