Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung will attend the 3rd Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) Summit slated for March 30-31 in Laos, said a Vietnamese spokesman on Thursday.
The summit with theme of "Enhancement of Competitiveness via Greater Connectivity" will focus its discussion on strengthening transport connectivity and boosting cooperation between public and private sectors to develop trade and investment in the GMS, Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dung said at a regular press briefing.
Participants to the summit will also touch upon issues on training human resources to improve the competitiveness, implementing sustainable environment management and enhancing cooperation for GMS development.
During the event, leaders from GMS members -- Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and China will have dialogues with youths and businesspeople, he said.
The 1st GMS Summit was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2002, and the 2nd summit in Kunming, China in 2005.
The GMS was established in 1992 to promote economic and social development, irrigation and cooperation within the six Mekong countries.
