Luo Yixin, deputy inspector of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province, mentioned that Lancang-Mekong agricultural cooperation facilitates the easier entry of specialty agricultural products into Guangdong and allows Guangdong's fruits to more easily enter Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, promoting economic cooperation between various countries and regions.
