Pham's tour is scheduled from November 5-8, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Established in 1992, the GMS mechanism was designed to enhance economic relations among six member countries namely Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam.

With support from the Asian Development Bank and other donors, GMS cooperation focuses on the implementation of high-priority subregional projects in agriculture, energy, environment, health and human resource development, information and communication technology, tourism, transport, transport and trade facilitation, and urban development.

This year's GMS Summit, which brings together leaders of the GMS member countries (Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam), is expected to approve the summit's Joint Statement and the innovation strategy for GMS development by 2030 and acknowledge six key documents on investment, the environment and climate change, digitalization, gender equality, health, and a framework on the digitization of trade documents.

These important outcomes will serve as a new driving force for sub-regional cooperation in general and GMS collaboration in particular. The collective effort and determination to promote cooperation and development while addressing common challenges will strengthen solidarity and friendship between Viet Nam and its neighbors, and enhance the strategic role of the GMS in the regional integration process.
