YANGON, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's Prime Minister General Thein Sein will be visiting Vietnam to attend two subregional summits in the near future, an official announcement from Nay Pyi Taw said Sunday without specifying the date of his visit.
The two summits are those of the 4th of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) and of the 3rd of Ayeyawaddy-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) which also comprises the four countries plus Thailand.
CLMV are the lesser-developed countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Myanmar, along with Laos, joined the regional grouping in July 1997.
In November 2003, four countries -- Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand held their first ACMECS summit in Myanmar's ancient city of Bagan, laying down ACMECS program which provides for cooperation in five main strategic areas of agriculture, industry, trade and investment, transport, tourist and human resources development.
Vietnam joined the ACMECS in 2004.
In May 2007, ACMECS foreign ministers met in Myanmar's Mandalay, pledging to work for greater competitiveness, narrower economic disparity and promoting socio-economic development in the subregion.
Calling for realization of their 2003 Bagan Declaration efficiently and effectively, the foreign ministers also expressed their desire to strengthen the aims and objectives of the declaration and work for attaining prosperity in the subregion through enhanced solidarity, mutual respect, goods neighborliness and active cooperation among the member countries.
