Quadripartite cooperation is considered an open mechanism that fully taps advantages and potential availability of member countries and a channel calling support from other ASEAN countries and development partners.
At the 7th CLMV Summit, PM Dung and other leaders will review the process of implementing the Mekong cooperation mechanisms associated with the bilateral cooperation process between countries and promote sustainable development of the Mekong subregion.
They will also review the action program for the 2013-2015 period in the areas of industry, energy, tourism, trade, investment, agriculture, human resource development, transport connectivity, healthcare, social welfare, and the environment.
The leaders will also assess and revamp the mechanism of cooperation with partners such as the US, Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with a view to improving the operational efficiency of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and elevating the role and status of the CLMV countries in the global production and supply chain.
Vietnam’s participation in these summits signifies its commitment to these cooperation mechanisms, to reinforce its leadership in Mekong cooperation, and step up its cooperation with other countries in the region.
