澜沧江-湄公河合作机制:新合作、新共同体与新挑战

Lancang-Mekong Cooperation： New Cooperate, New Community, New Challenge

2014年，中国对泰国提出的建立澜沧江-湄公河次区域国家间新合作框架的倡议表示了支持。2016年3月，该合作机制第一次领导人会议在中国三亚召开。“澜沧江-湄公河合作”（LMC，简称“澜湄合作”）包括中国和来自“陆上东盟”的5个国家：泰国、柬埔寨、老挝、缅甸和越南。本文将主要讨论中国大力支持该框架的原因。从泰国的角度来看，中国和湄公河流域国家在澜湄合作上正面临在可持续发展，尤其是跨界河流和自然资源管理等方面的挑战和机遇。这一合作框架的有效运行仍需要各国的参与，尤其需要在合作国家间推动“信任构建”。

In 2014, China supported Thailand＇s proposal to initiate a new cooperation framework for Lancang-Mekong Sub-regional countries. The first leaders＇ meeting was held in Sanya, China, in March 2016. The Lancang-Mekong cooperation （LMC） includes China and five Southeast Asian countries loca ted in the ＂Main Land ASEAN＂ , namely, Thailand, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam. This article explores the reasons that may explain China＇s strong incentives to support this framework. From Thailand＇s perspective, the LMC is currently facing new challenges and opportunities in several fields, such as sustainable development and particularly, management of border-crossing rivers and related natural resources. In order to make this cooperation developed into an effective framework, there is a necessity that every country should participate into this cooperation, and particularly, should ＂build a trust among themselves＂.
