With such a view, the Prime Minister proposed three priorities of the MLC in the coming period, including: First, building a modern and developed Mekong - Lancang region, with the core task of promoting industrialization and modernization, building independent and self-reliant Mekong - Lancang economies associated with proactive, active international integration, deep, substantive and effective.
Second, building a green, sustainable and inclusive Mekong - Lancang region, ensuring harmony between the present and the future, between economic growth and environmental protection, taking people as the center, the subject, driving force, resource and goal of development, leaving no one behind.
Third, building a peaceful and cooperative Mekong-Lancang region. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's assessments and proposals were highly appreciated by the conference and included in the conference documents.
