HOW DO CHINA AND MYANMAR FIT IN WITH THE MRC?
Since 1996 China and Myanmar have been Dialogue Partners. They share information on developments within their countries that affect the Mekong. In 2002, the MRC signed an agreement with China for the exchange of hydrological data during the flood season. Talks are also underway to assess the possibility of joint work on safe navigation and the Strategic Environmental Assessment of potential hydropower schemes on the mainstream Mekong. There is an increasing level of technical cooperation with regular participation from technical experts from China and Myanmar.
