Greater Mekong Subregion

The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is a cross-border area in Southeast Asia that includes countries like Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and part of China’s Yunnan Province. It is named after the Mekong River, which runs through these nations. The GMS aims to promote economic growth, trade, and development by encouraging cooperation and infrastructure projects across borders. By working together, these countries seek to improve transportation, reduce poverty, and enhance regional stability, creating more opportunities for their populations while respecting their unique cultures and environments.
