BEIJING, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- The second foreign ministers' meeting of the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) will be held on Dec. 23 in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Chinese Foreign Ministry Geng Shuang said on Friday.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhonn will co-chair the meeting that will also gather foreign ministers from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, Geng said at a regular news briefing.

"China hopes to deepen practical cooperation with the five other countries in politics and security, economy and sustainable development," Geng said.

The six countries along the Mekong (known as Lancang in the Chinese stretch) launched the LMC mechanism in 2015 and convened the first Leaders' meeting earlier in 2016.

Of the 45 early harvest projects agreed in the summit, more than 10 have been completed or partly done, showing the pragmatism and efficiency of the LMC, the spokesperson added.
