Sixth Mekong-Ganga Cooperation Ministerial Meeting: Joint Press Interaction
External Affairs Minister's statement to the media at the Joint Media Interaction held after the Sixth Mekong-Ganga Cooperation Ministerial Meeting (September 04, 2012)
Distinguished Leaders of Delegation from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam,
Friends from Media,
I have great pleasure in announcing the successful conclusion of the sixth Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MGC) Ministerial Meeting in New Delhi today. I am joined here today by the Leaders of Delegation from the five countries of Mekong region, namely Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The Senior Officials met yesterday and held detailed deliberations on MGC.
The Mekong-Ganga Cooperation initiative was launched in Vientiane, Lao PDR in 2000 by India and the five countries from Mekong region to build cooperation in the region defined by two great rivers, the Mekong and the Ganga. It is a forum unique in its civilizational foundation. It also a forum, which has tremendous potential to become a powerful catalyst for socio-economic development in the region.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that, at the 6th MGC Ministerial Meeting today, we have revitalized the forum by expanding our partnership to new areas of collaboration. In our view, the Mekong-Ganga Cooperation has important relevance to the growth and shared prosperity in Asia. We are confident that this new direction and energy infused into the forum today will help realize the great promise within the MGC. Our unanimous decision to henceforth meet on an annual basis is indicative of our recognition of the tremendous potential for future cooperation in this forum.
Friends from Media,
The text of the Joint Ministerial Statement is already with you.
In addition to the existing four areas of collaboration under the Mekong-Ganga Cooperation, namely culture, tourism, human resource development & education, and transport & communication, we have today identified various new areas for cooperation. These include health research relevant to the region and sharing of expertise on pandemic management.
The economies of India and the five countries in the Mekong region depend heavily on micro, small and medium enterprises. We have, therefore, discussed various ways of bringing together the complementarities that exist in micro, small and medium enterprises in our countries.
We have also focused on aspects related to food security and the responsibility to future generations in terms of protecting the rich bio-diversity of our region. Our Officials will establish more intensive channels of communication to be able to show progress in these areas before our next meeting.
We would be intensifying our collaboration for human resource development and education. Connectivity from Vietnam to India is a strategic priority for all of us and we have asked our Senior Officials to work towards specific projects.
We have tasked our Officials to accelerate action at national levels in setting up the Museum of Traditional Asian Textiles, which has been constructed by India in Siem Reap. We have suggested that the Museum develop a dynamic character by integrating a Textiles Centre and also showcasing performing arts, which are intrinsically linked to our textile traditions.
India has announced an annual commitment of USD 1 million for the India-Cambodia-Laos--Myanmar-Vietnam (CLMV) Quick Impact Projects Revolving Fund. This will be towards projects with short gestation and immediate benefit at a community level in the CLMV countries.
I am happy to inform that the Lao People's Democratic Republic has kindly agreed to Chair our next meeting. I wish Lao PDR all success in their efforts to take forward the MGC initiatives to the next high level.
