Foreign ministers from six countries in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin have vowed to turbocharge regional cooperation over the next decade, aiming to boost peace, sustainability, and economic growth across Southeast Asia. 🌍✨
At the 10th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Anning, China's Yunnan Province, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for an 'upgraded version' of collaboration. The plan? A mix of solidarity, green innovation, and open partnerships to tackle challenges like climate change and infrastructure development. 💡🌱
Wang emphasized that the LMC—which includes Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Chinese mainland—must prioritize 'win-win outcomes' while fostering tech-driven solutions and cross-border trust. The move signals a fresh chapter for the region, home to over 240 million people and a hotspot for global trade routes. 🚢💼
