On the evening of April 5, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and
the high-ranking delegation of the Vietnamese Government landed in Hanoi, successfully wrapping up their trip to attend the
third MRC Summit in Siem Reap,
Cambodia at the
invitation of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Themed "'Enhancing joint Efforts and
Partnerships towards Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Mekong
River Basin,” the summit reviewed cooperation within the commission and the
implementation of commitments made at the second summit in Vietnam’s Ho Chi
Minh City in 2014, while identifying priority areas in the next periods to use
water resources and other resources in the Mekong River basin in a fair,
appropriate and sustainable manner.
At the summit, PM Phuc pointed out that
the Mekong River
basin countries are dealing with visible, serious consequences
of the exhausting water resources of the Mekong River
and called for prompt and concrete actions to use the water resources and other
related resources sustainably, properly and fairly.
He also called for parties to work
together and take actions to ensure the Mekong River
will be forever the river of peace, which provides long-lasting, sustainable
and wealthy existence for countries and people in the region.
The summit adopted the Siem Rep
Declaration which affirms the importance of Mekong
cooperation as well as the acceleration of the implementation of the 1995
Mekong Agreement. The document also outlines priority activities of the
commission for the next four years and long-term orientations for cooperation
within the commission.
On the sidelines of the summit, PM Phuc had
bilateral meetings with Cambodian and Lao counterparts Hun Sen and Thongloun
Sisoulith and the head of the Chinese delegation to discuss measures and
orientations for bilateral ties. He met with representatives of the Vietnamese
community in Siem Reap.
