Mr. Son proposed a three-pronged strategy for MLC in its next “golden decade.” This approach includes strengthening comprehensive connectivity in transport, trade, and people-to-people exchanges and leading the application of science, technology, and innovation to foster rapid and sustainable sub-regional growth.
The MLC should also remain committed to sustainable development, with a focus on equitable water resource management and enhancing the application of science and technology in sharing meteorological and hydrological data.
The meeting, attended by the foreign ministers of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, China, and Vietnam, reviewed a decade of the MLC’s formation and development and charted its course for the next 10 years.
