2025/29 “Vietnam’s Response to Controversial Mekong Projects in China, Laos, and Cambodia” by Phan Xuan Dung

My latest Perspective examines Vietnam’s diplomatic approach to upstream exploitation of the Mekong River and offers recommendations on how Vietnam can better address the upstream exploitation of the Mekong River without jeopardising amicable neighbourly ties.
