PHNOM PENH, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — The upcoming third Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) leaders’ meeting is crucial to fighting the COVID-19 and setting direction to promote post-COVID-19 socio-economic development in the sub-region, Cambodian experts have said.
The third LMC leaders’ meeting will be held via video link on Monday. The LMC, initiated by China in 2014, consists of six countries, namely China, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
