The Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC)

The Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) was established in 2016 to promote multifaceted cooperation at the sub-regional level among the countries of Cambodia, P.R. China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Underpinned by a vision of a community of shared future of peace and prosperity, it strives to contribute to the economic and social development of the sub-regional countries; enhance the well-being of the people; narrow the development gap and support ASEAN community building; and promote the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as South-South cooperation.

KEY PRIORITY AREAS

The LMC Framework is grounded on three cooperation pillars - political and security issues; economic and sustainable development; and social, cultural and people-to-people exchanges. It works in the following key priority areas:

  • Connectivity
  • Production Capacity
  • Cross-border Economic Cooperation
  • Water Resources
  • Agriculture and Poverty Reduction
