Mekong River Commission

The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is a regional organization founded in 1995 to promote sustainable development and cooperation among countries that share the Mekong River, primarily Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. The river is crucial for agriculture, fishing, and energy in the region. MRC aims to manage water resources effectively, support environmental protection, and enhance economic benefits while addressing challenges like climate change and water pollution. By fostering dialogue and collaboration among member countries, the MRC seeks to ensure the river's resources benefit everyone sustainably and equitably.
