Thailand launches new group of Lancang-Mekong valley projects

Last December, the fourth LMC Leaders' Meeting was successfully held and the Nay Pyi Taw Declaration was adopted, unanimously agreeing to join hands on the building of a community of shared future and modernization among its member countries.

"As co-chairs, China and Thailand should seize the precious opportunities of regional development, take advantage of the momentum, push the cooperation to a higher level, achieve common development of the six countries, and let the people of the six countries live a good life together," Han noted.

As China and Thailand will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year, Han also expressed China's willingness to work closely with Thailand to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries.

"We will accelerate to build a China-Thailand community with a shared future for enhanced stability, prosperity and sustainability and work together to build a better Lancang-Mekong homeland," he said.

On Friday, three awards for Thailand's projects supported by the MLC Special Fund between 2017 and 2022 were also revealed.

Project with Outstanding Multilateral Character and Sub-regional Impact, Project with Outstanding Pragmatic, and Result-oriented Approach Project with Outstanding Management were give to three projects by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation respectively.
