The conference was told that Viet Nam actively took part in seven meetings of the Mekong River Commission Council, MRCC, and 12 meetings of the MRCC Union Committee held in four MRCC member countries, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand between 1995 and 2000.
Viet Nam also contributed to MRC resolutions and took part in workshops, conferences and training courses held by the International Mekong River Commission.
