Some Solutions to Enhance the Effectiveness of Cooperation in The Development of Mekong River Water Resources

Abstract: Based on the analysis of the limitations in water resource development cooperation in the Mekong River Basin presented in the article titled “Multilateral Cooperation on the Development of Mekong River Water Resource from 2003 to 2023,” published in the International Journal of Education and Social Science Research (Vol. 8, Issue 3, May–June 2025), this paper focuses on examining the key benefits that water cooperation brings to the Mekong countries and the entire basin. Building upon that, the author proposes a number of core solutions aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of future water resource development cooperation in the Mekong River Basin.
