澜湄合作进展与未来发展方向

Progress and Future Development of Lancang-Mekong Cooperation

澜湄合作是新时期中国与湄公河国家进行次区域合作的一个成功典范。在短短两年时间内,建立了多层级合作机制体系,形成了"高效务实、项目为本、民生优先"的澜湄模式。各方发扬"推土机"精神,取得了丰硕成果。澜湄合作从一开始便得到东盟的大力支持,也成为中国与东盟升级合作的重要组成部分。其内生因素主要在于区域大市场的驱动,也是逆全球化和贸易保护主义兴起倒逼的结果,此外还与本地区非传统安全特殊性密切相关。正如其他成长机制一样,澜湄合作也面临挑战,包括机制赋权、能力建设和内外协调等问题,未来需要完善体制机制,加强横向联系,注入可持续动力。

The Lancang-Mekong cooperation is a successful example of sub-regional cooperation between China and Mekong countries in the new period. In just two years, they have established a system of multi-level cooperative mechanisms featuring pragmatism, high efficiency, project-based, and people's livelihood-prioritized. With all parties' determined efforts, the LMC has achieved fruitful results. The LMC, which has obtained ASEAN's strong support since the beginning, has become an important part of the upgraded China-ASEAN cooperation. It is driven endogenously by the development of a large regional market, and is a response to the trend of anti-globalization and trade protectionism. It is also closely related to the particularity of the region's nontraditional security. Just like other emerging mechanisms, the LMC is facing challenges such as institutional empowerment, capacity building, and internal and external coordination. In the future, it needs to perfect the mechanism and strengthen horizontal ties to gain sustainable momentum.
