Themed "Leveraging 25 years of cooperation, Building an integrated, sustainable and prosperous GMS", the event aims to celebrate the 25th founding anniversary of the GMS and identify cooperation for establishing a region of prosperity, integration and sustainable development.
The Greater Mekong Subregion is a vast area with a population of 340 million people, which is comprised of 5 countries, namely, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam and two provinces of China – Yunnan and Guangxi. With the region’s entire economic scale accounted for, GMS can be viewed as “one economy” with total GDP exceeding US$ 1300 billion.
Earlier on March 30, the first-ever GMS Business Summit took place in Ha Noi.
