and wealthy existence for countries and people in the region.

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
