Keywords:
Lancang-Mekong Cooperation, reater Mekong Subregion Economy, Belt and Road InitiativeAbstract
With her full length of 2703 miles, the Lancang-Mecong River connects the Southwest China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam all together into a development area of multinational economic cooperation—the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation, i.e., the LMC. Established by the Lancang-Mecong River, the LMC allys China with the Southeast Asian countries who share the river as natural partners, and their cooperative partnerships are mainly through the management of agricultural water resources. The LMC has been developed for many years and achieved some remarkable successes for the Greater Mekong Subregion Economy, and the current cooperative area of the LMC has already become part of the Belt and Road Initiative from China—with more potentials, energies as well as bigger activity space for all Mekong countries, the LMC has integrated their industry chains, the supply chains and the logistics chains efficiently enough to push forward a sustainable development for the Mekong regional economy, building a Community of Shared Future along the Lancang-Mekong River.
