PHNOM PENH, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- The signing ceremony for the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) Special Fund 2025 for Cambodia was held here on Wednesday.

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin attended the event, which involved 11 projects.

Speaking at the event, Sokhonn said this special fund is a major driving force that has further deepened regional integration and promoted sustainable development and prosperity for all member countries.

"I would like to reiterate Cambodia's commitment to working closely for cooperation at all levels with China and other Mekong countries to achieve the vision of our leaders," he said.

Wang said under the framework of Lancang-Mekong Cooperation, China has so far supported Cambodia in carrying out 108 LMC Special Fund projects, covering many fields such as poverty reduction, mine clearance, education, tropical disease prevention and control, and repairing houses for disaster-stricken people.

China is willing to further strengthen solidarity and cooperation with Mekong countries, including Cambodia, to create more high-quality projects and move towards building a community with a shared future for LMC countries, Wang said.

The LMC countries include China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Enditem
