  Future Projects & Visions

The current projects will be continued. Additional projects will certainly be added. One of them is research aiming at producing suggestions and recommendations for the governments in the Mekong region and relevant countries for consideration and adoption.


Up to now, most of the beneficiaries of the MRLC activities are citizens of and/or residents in the Mekong region. To add value to its activities, along with the fact that most of the Mekong region countries are now ASEAN members, which are becoming closer to each other, the MRLC plans to extend the benefit to derive from the activities to citizens and/or residents of ASEAN countries other than Cambodia, Lao P.D.R., Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Indonesia, in particular. East Timor will also be invited to benefit from the MRLC's future activities.

Upcoming Activities

To be included among the activities are or should be:
1. 1-week training workshop on 'An Introduction to Laws Concerning Investment' for officers, lawyers and/or entrepreneurs from Law PDR (Donors: International Lawyer Network members having made the donation)
2. The 'Software Development in the Mekong Basin' Project (Prospective/Possible major donors: the Governments of China PRC, Japan and South-Korea, through ASEAN + 3) (N.B. Subject to the result of the negotiation between the Thai Government, through the Business Economics Department, and
