United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced the Asia-Pacific Strategic Engagement Initiative (APSEI) on July 12 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. APSEI is a new integrated assistance framework that engages on current
pressing bilateral and transnational issues, and positions the United States and its partners to sustain regional stability and support an inclusive regional economy in our shared future.
As part of our efforts to deepen engagement on pressing bilateral and transnational issues, and as a demonstration of our commitment to APSEI, Secretary Clinton announced that the United States will provide $50 million over three
years in new assistance programs for “Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) 2020.” This program is designed to build regional capacity and foster collaboration to address transnational challenges. Programs under “LMI 2020” will support an LMI coordination hub, women’s
leadership network, control and prevention of malaria, increased support for the Mekong River Commission, and new funding for environmental and connectivity programs.
