Written by Mekong Institute
The Mekong Forum is an initiative of Mekong Institute, an inter-governmental organization in the Great Mekong Sub-region (GMS).
The Mekong Forum:
- Brings together opinion leaders to discuss the most pressing issues facing the GMS;
- Is known for its July biennial gathering in Khon Kaen, a city in the northeast of Thailand;
- Is an integrated platform engaging business, academic and other leaders in collaborative efforts to shape the development agenda in the GMS;
- Is now being used by leaders, international organizations and scholars as a neutral platform to exchange ideas and build networks across the GMS;
By the end of 2015, the ASEAN nations will embark on a new phase of development – the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Once the AEC blueprint is fully implemented, ASEAN will become a prosperous economic community with freer movement of goods, trade, services, investment, and skilled labor. Despite the promising opportunities, AEC also poses many challenges.
To address these challenges, the 2015 Mekong Forum brought together senior policy makers, business and civic leaders, academics, and development practitioners from throughout the region to discuss and shape the agenda for developing and modernizing the GMS. Participants shared success stories, lessons learned and innovative ideas on modernizing both the public and private sectors as part of the development process in the GMS, and sought to identify areas of collaboration that will synergize development within the GMS and in ASEAN integration and other cooperation frameworks.
The 2015 Forum focused on three main topics:
- Adopting New Technology and Innovation for Enhancing GMS Competitiveness in the Global Market
- International Agreements and Policy Tools for Supporting the GMS Development Process
Addressing Institutional Challenges and Opportunities for the Next Leap of the GMS
Participants addressed the need in the GMS for a comprehensive, broad-based process of modernization, particularly in regard to agriculture, technology and logistics. They also discussed policy recommendations for the GMS governments to modernize the GMS towards the post-AEC 2015, focusing on the appropriate policy initiatives to support the development process in GMS countries as well as ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate any negative consequences of development and disparities within and between GMS countries.
The ideas and information presented at the 2015 Forum will help Mekong Institute design its projects and future research plans with the aim of promoting public and private sector cooperation for regional integration.
