MEKONG INSTITUTE

As one of the longest running IGOs in the GMS, Mekong Institute (MI) is dedicated to building a better subregion focusing on human resource and capacity development to enhance regional cooperation and integration... Mekong Institute (MI) was established on August 28, 1996, by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Thai Department of Technical and Economic Cooperation to promote economic development and cooperation in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)... The Mekong Institute has expanded its work by assuming new mandates to support various sub-regional cooperation frameworks and mechanisms. The transformation also reflects the subregion's thriving economies, calling for greater regional cooperation and integration as well as the growing geopolitical importance.
