The summit will also be attended by high-ranking leaders from Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and China.

The MLC is a sub-regional cooperation mechanism that was jointly established in 2016 by six countries along the Mekong River, namely Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Since then, various exchange activities among political parties, officials, youth and religious groups have been organised.

The biennial event is organised in rotation among member countries.
