The Mekong’s Next Chapter
Starts Now
The Mekong is a source of life, growth and opportunity for millions. As global demand for food, energy and sustainable investment grows, the region has the resources, talent and strategic position to shape a more resilient and prosperous future.
Realising this potential requires leadership that looks beyond borders, partnerships that deliver results and investment that creates lasting value for people and the environment.
The MRC Summit is the highest political forum of the Mekong River Commission. Every four years, the leaders of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam come together to assess regional progress, strengthen their shared commitment and set the direction for cooperation across the basin.
Held from 2–5 April 2027 in Bangkok, Thailand, the 5th MRC Summit will advance the theme, “Growing Together and Stronger for People, Partnership, and Prosperity.” It sets the terms of engagement: strength through unity, progress through cooperation, and resilience built to respond, adapt and advance.

2–3 April 2027
MRC International Conference
The Mekong region’s natural resources, dynamic economies, young population and strong foundation of regional cooperation offer significant opportunities for shared progress. Realising this potential will require decisive leadership, stronger partnerships and sustained investment in solutions that protect the river while advancing prosperity.
As part of the 5th MRC Summit, the MRC International Conference brings together leaders, policymakers, experts, practitioners, investors and community voices from the Mekong region and beyond — connecting regional experience with global knowledge, aligning ambition with opportunity, and turning shared priorities into practical action.
The Conference places science, policy and people at the centre of the regional agenda, exploring how climate adaptation, forecasting, digital innovation and community leadership can strengthen resilience for the Mekong River Basin.
From Regional Ideas to Global Opportunities
A new generation of Mekong leaders — young innovators, citizen scientists and riverpreneurs — will demonstrate how local ideas can address regional challenges, attract investment and create value for both people and nature. Through strategic dialogue, interactive sessions and exhibitions, participants will build new partnerships and identify opportunities for action. This is where leadership will set direction, partnership will build momentum, and investment will move solutions forward.
Mekong Youth Innovation Showcase
Connecting creativity with expertise and promising ideas with the partners who can help advance them.
Community Knowledge Marketplace
Connecting communities with decision makers to turn lived experience into practical, shared solutions.
