Việt Nam, Thailand work to ensure Mekong river water usage
Việt Nam and Thailand will work closely with each other and with international organisations to use and manage Mekong river water resources efficiently to ensure the interests of the river basin nations. That was agreed by Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak during their meeting on the sidelines of ACMECS 7, CLMV 8 and WEF-Mekong in Hà Nội on October 25. The two countries will co-ordinate with other ASEAN members to promote the bloc’s central role in regional and international issues, they said. On behalf of the Vietnamese Government, PM Phúc sent his condolences to Thai people on the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, calling his passing a great loss to Thailand.
