Assistant Foreign Minster Shen Guofang says China has been playing an important part in promoting economic cooperation in the Mekong River basin.

Shen Guofang revealed China has funded a navigation course improvement project along the Lancang-Mekong River.

The government has conducted various kinds of agricultural cooperation with other countries in the region. Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and China's Yunnan province are collectively known as the Greater Mekong Sub-region

China has also trained 1500 technical specialists for these countries.

In addition, experts in Thailand urge Mekong leaders to give environmental concerns priority when they meet in China next Monday.
