VTV.vn - In the Hanoi Declaration made at the closing session of the 7th ACMECS Summit, the issue of the sustainable use of natural resources of the Ayeyawady - Chao Phraya - Mekong rivers was agreed.

In a context where there is a severe impact on the lives of people in the region through climate change, the commitment to the sustainable use of natural resources will be the basis for strengthening co-operation in the future.

However, a joint statement emphasizes the determination of the five nations (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand)  in sustainable development issues and the response to climate change.
