Abstract：Lancang-Mekong sub-region is a key area for poverty alleviation in international community as poverty has been a prominent problem there. A series of multilateral and bilateral international cooperation mechanisms for poverty alleviation have been developed, which have promoted infrastructure construction, the development in agriculture, tourism, trade, and human resources in this sub-region. All these efforts, to a certain extent, have alleviated poverty in this region. Nevertheless, many international mechanisms for poverty alleviation, to some extent, have also resulted in mechanism congestion. Lancang-Mekong sub-region has gradually turned into an arena for foreign powers. In the mean time, the international cooperation for poverty alleviation in Lancang-Mekong sub-region is plagued by the turmoil of democratization, environmental issues, and lack of systematic planning and evaluation. The Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism formed in 2016 is one of the cooperation mechanisms pushed by China for closer cooperation with neighboring countries. International poverty-alleviation cooperation is one of the priorities in this mechanism. In view of the current problems in international poverty-alleviation cooperation in Lancang-Mekong sub-region, in the future, measures should be takes as follows in international poverty-alleviation cooperation under Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism: actively advocating the new poverty-alleviation ideas of cooperation, green poverty-alleviation, and joint efforts of governments, enterprises, NGOs, and society; creating targeted poverty-alleviation cooperation platforms; seeking bilateral and multilateral balances and a balance with current cooperation mechanisms; focusing on the development new poverty-alleviation programs.
