The Summit of Leaders, which is generally held every 3 years, is the highest forum in the Greater Mekong Subregion program and culminates in a joint statement signed by the heads of government of member countries. The summit is an opportunity to examine how global trends are affecting the subregion; the progress that has been made in cooperation and integration; and the best strategy for moving forward in the years ahead.
