A national conference has taken place in Hanoi to discuss the roadmap for transferring the key functions of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) in order to ensure sustainable development in the Mekong Basin as well as to protect water and food security.
The event was organized on November 23 by the MRC in coordination with the Vietnamese Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
According to the conference, Vietnam will be the first nation out of the four member countries of the MRC to receive the hydrological observing stations of the Mekong Hydrological Cycle Observing System (HYCOS) project from the MRC Secretariat.
Nguyen Thai Lai, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, said Vietnam will quickly implement the transferred functions at its agencies.
The MRC was set up in April 1995 with the signing of an agreement on technical cooperation for sustainable development in the Mekong basin.
