The Fifth Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held in Vientiane， Laos on February 20， 2020. China， Cambodia， Laos， Myanmar， Thailand and Vietnam issued a Joint Press Communiqué to encourage synergy between development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Lancang-Mekong Economic Development Belt to closely link the vast mid-western region of China with the vibrant ASEAN market， boost economic and industrial integration， ensure supply chain efficiency， and promote high-quality and sustainable development in the Lancang-Mekong region.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation mechanism that the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor has been identified as an important content of the meeting. The Corridor will become an important carrier and platform to push for deeper and more practical implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative， develop Lancang-Mekong Economic Development Belt with greater efforts， and build a community of shared future for Lancang-Mekong countries.

The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is a strategic corridor with multiple economic effects that is jointly built by western provinces （autonomous regions and municipalities） of China and ASEAN countries such as Singapore through regional coordination and international cooperation. It connects China and Europe's major international railway corridor to the west， the Yangtze River's golden waterway to the east， and the China-Indo-China Peninsula Economic Corridor to the south. It has built connectivity between China's western region and the five Mekong countries of Myanmar， Laos， Thailand， Cambodia， Vietnam and other ASEAN countries.

The western region of China has huge market potential and broad scope for cooperation in trade and industry with the five Mekong countries. Relying on the China-Singapore （Chongqing） Demonstration Initiative on Strategic Connectivity， the western provinces， autonomous regions and municipalities， by jointly promoting synergy between development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Lancang-Mekong Economic Development Belt， will effectively achieve higher-level facility connectivity and unimpeded trade among the six countries， thus driving the cooperation in production capacity， cross-border economy and industrial parks， accelerating the construction of the Lancang-Mekong Economic Development Belt， upgrading of the quality and efficiency of the economy along the river， and bringing greater benefits to the people  along the belt.

Driving and pushing forward the synergy between development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Lancang-Mekong Economic Development Belt

China-Singapore （Chongqing） multimodal/intermodal transport demonstration base： It integrates modes of water， rail， air and road transportation to build a multimodal/intermodal transport demonstration area， supporting parks and areas with other functions.

China-Singapore international cold chain products trading platform： The platform can help open direct channels for distributors in the western region of China to import seafood. It can also harness Singapore's advantageous resources to help develop the cold chain logistics industry and improve the efficiency of cross-border multimodal/intermodal transport cold chain logistics. At the same time， it can also play a part in facilitating the construction of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor， balancing the two-way cargo， reducing shipping cost， and allow more agricultural products from western China to be exported to Southeast Asia.

Western China-ASEAN agricultural products trading service platform： This platform aims to explore and build a service platform for trading agricultural products between China and Singapore， and a China-Singapore agricultural science and technology standardization platform， and take them as vehicles to integrate the resources in western China and ASEAN， facilitate unimpeded trade channels， and facilitate agricultural products trade.

Smart China Expo and China – Singapore （Chongqing） Connectivity Initiative Financial Summit： Singapore has participated in the two events for two consecutive years and held dialogue sessions on jointly building the New Land-sea Corridor. Leaders of relevant ministries and commissions of China and Singapore， relevant leaders of 12 provinces and cities in western China， heads of large enterprises of both sides， and foreign envoys from Vietnam， Thailand and other countries attended the meeting， which has greatly enhanced the visibility and influence of the Corridor.

In 2019， two expert symposiums on project consultation were held， inviting former ambassador of China to ASEAN countries， leaders of ASEAN-China Center， well-known scholars from Singapore and Chongqing， to offer suggestions. And a memorandum of cooperation between Chongqing and ASEAN-China Center was signed  to help Chongqing tap the ASEAN market.

Strengthening strategic cooperation with the five Mekong countries and jointly working for a shared beautiful blueprint

The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor uses three forms of logistics organization： international rail-sea multimodal/intermodal transportation， cross-border road transportation and cross-border rail transportation. With the growing maturity of the Lancang-Mekong cooperation mechanism and the practical advancement of related projects， the Management Bureau of China-Singapore （Chongqing） Demonstration Initiative on Strategic Connectivity Chongqing has carried out special research and， in combination with the progress and reality of the new land-sea corridor， to give full play to the advantages of the corridor operation center and practically promote various economic and trade cooperation with the Mekong countries.

Strengthen strategic cooperation with the five Mekong countries is high on the agenda. For example， to innovate and design the implementation details and paths for the new land-sea corridor to match up with Myanmar's "East-West Corridor and southward corridor"， Laos's "transformation of land-locked country into land-linked country"， Thailand's "Eastern Economic Corridor"， Cambodia's “Rectangular Strategy”， Vietnams "Two Corridors and One Economic Circle" and other national development strategies.

Third-party market cooperation has been actively explored. The new land-sea corridor should be the carrier to jointly expand the third-party market cooperation with Singapore， to support Chongqing and the western region to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN in logistics， trade， industry and other areas， and to carry out strategic and forward-looking deployment of industries with better advantages in the western region to be promoted in the ASEAN region. We will explore the construction mode of "international channel + logistics hub + industrial park"， strengthen the integration of resources， innovate on the division of labor and coordination of international industrial chains， as well as encourage and support Chongqing and the western region to cooperate with enterprises from the five Mekong countries along the Corridor.

Meanwhile， all related sides will promote infrastructure connectivity and coordinate Myanmar， Laos， Vietnam and other countries to jointly promote the speed-up transformation of the railway from Pingxiang in Guangxi to Hanoi in Vietnam， the railway from Hekou in Yunnan to Hanoi and to Haiphong in Vietnam， and the south-north railway from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam; all related sides will participate in the construction and operation of logistics hubs， encourage and guide platform enterprises with international logistics operation experience and resources to participate in the development， construction and management of port container terminals， important logistics parks， etc. through franchising， joint venture and other ways of cooperation; all related sides will continue to improve the efficiency of customs clearance and logistics， promote the "one inspection between China and Vietnam"， establish and improve mechanisms such as cross-border and cross-regional customs clearance cooperation， international customs clearance "three mutual" cooperation and customs enforcement linkage， and promote faster customs clearance and transfer of import and export goods.
