Finance Minister Yoon Jeung-hyun says Korea intends to actively participate in the development of the Greater Mekong Subregion.

In his welcoming remarks at the opening of the Mekong Development Forum in Seoul on Monday, Yoon said the Korean government and private businesses would offer financial and technical assistance as well as invest in GMS projects.

The two-day forum co-hosted by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the Asian Development Bank is set to close on Tuesday after one-on-one meetings between Korean businesses and GMS senior officials to explore areas of cooperation and business opportunities.

Comprised of Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, the GMS cooperates on projects such as transportation infrastructure.
