Countries move to narrow gap between ASEAN members
VNA
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, on January 12, underlined the significance of the organisation of the Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) summit, saying that the meeting demonstrated their determination to narrow the development gap between them and other ASEAN members.
The PM made the statement during the CLMV Summit held on the sidelines of the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit which is currently being staged in Cebu, the Philippines.
PM Dung proposed that the four countries establish a joint co-ordination mechanism and diversify their forms of co-operation, with attention being paid to areas of trade, electricity, mining, rubber and coffee planting.
The PM expressed his wish for Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar to work closely with Vietnam to successfully organise the 2nd ASEAN Integration Development Co-operation Forum (IDCF).
During the CLMV Summit, the Cambodian, Lao, Myanmar and Vietnamese leaders agreed upon 31 measures for their 2006 action plan, which is aimed at helping them to make full use of their potential and advantages.
They approved a joint statement and decided to hold their next summit in Vietnam late this year.
The same day, Deputy PM-cum-Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem attended the Ministerial Meeting of CLMV and Japan during which participants discussed measures to enhance friendship and co-operation, particularly in the area of economic-trade.
Japan announced aid of US $52 million to help accelerate economic co-operation with ASEAN member countries. It also said it would provide US $40 million for CLMV, US $20 million of which is allocated to the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam (CLV) Development Triangle.
Japan recommended organising the Ministerial Meeting between Japan and five Mekong sub-region countries in 2007 in Tokyo in order to increase dialogue and co-operation.
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia proposed that Japan continue to support the Development Triangle area, and particularly consider financing the 12 infrastructure projects that they had presented Japan at the first summit of CLV and Japan in November, 2004 in Vientiane.

Why continue to work closely with the Vietcong government???I don't see an improvement in the living of standard among dirt poor Cambodian people who are the very first to carry out the Vietcong policy for the past 30 years!! Not only that Cambodia followed the Vietcong government policy over the years but Cambodia had taken over 4 to 5 million of illegal Vietnamese immigrant and still there is no improvement in living of standard in Cambodia anywhere!!!
The Vietcong government needs to stop their propaganda machine to ride on the back of Cambodia, Loa, and Myanmar success!!!!
Cambodia has the most impact by the Vietcong policy and yet Cambodia is going nowhere!!!The concept of poverty reduction is just a bunch of bullfuck and bullshit promoted in the name of the Vietcong government!!!!!
Well, if you get into your rat's
hole Cambodia will be under
your control and everyone will
be millionaire. Isn't that better?
