The fourth Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) summit will be held in Hanoi from October 23-26, a Foreign Ministry spokesman announced on September 20.

The third Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya Mekong Economic Co-operation Strategy (ACMECS) summit will be held at the same time.

This year’s CLMV and ACMECS summits will review the bodies work, set future co-operation orientation for ACMECS and CLMV, and approve summits’ documents.

The ACMECS, initiated by Thailand to be established in November 2003, at first included Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. Vietnam joined the group a year later.

CLMV was set up in 2004 under Laos’ initiative. The group passed the Vientiane Declaration on Enhancing Economic Co-operation and Integration Among CLMV at its first summit. (VNA)
