Mekong International Forum 2025

Building Sustainable Partnerships for the Mekong Future

The Mekong Sub-region—comprising Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand—stands at a critical juncture amid shifting global dynamics and intensifying great power competition. As traditional partnership frameworks face growing challenges, questions arise about their continued relevance and effectiveness in today’s geopolitical landscape. To address these pressing concerns, the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Vietnam, will host the Forum on "Building Sustainable Partnerships for the Mekong Future" on 26 September 2025 in Ha Noi.
