Renewed partnership with Murray-Darling Basin Authority will prepare Mekong for current and future challenges
Mekong basin-wide planning, environmental monitoring, flood and drought management, climate change adaption, and stakeholder engagement are some of the key areas to benefit from a renewed partnership between the Mekong River Commission (MRC) and Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) of Australia.
The technical collaboration between the MRC and MDBA was revitalized yesterday as the two bodies reached an agreement to continue their cooperation. MRC Secretariat CEO Dr. An Pich Hatda and MDBA CEO Mr. Phillip Glyde signed a memorandum of understanding at an official ceremony in the Australia’s capital city Canberra in attendance of Mekong senior energy policy-makers and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and MDBA senior officials.
