The leaders reviewed the outcomes of the implementation of agreements reached at the ninth Summit of Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Development Triangle Area (CLV-9) in Siem Reap in November last year.

They agreed to boost connectivity among the three economies, including transport and energy connectivity, open more pairs of border gates, and develop rubber and tourism industries.

Other spheres of trilateral cooperation include environmental protection, management and sustainable use of natural resources, climate change adaptation and management of water sources, and mobilization of capital, particularly from development partners and business communities.

The PMs stressed the need to incorporate CLV projects into cooperation programs in the Mekong sub-region, the Cambodia-Laos-Myanmar-Vietnam (CLMV) cooperation mechanism, and the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS).

They exchanged experiences in promoting cooperation in regional and international issues of mutual concern and agreed to work with other ASEAN member states for the success of the summit and the development of the ASEAN Community.
