Mekong Disaster Drills Highlight US-ASEAN Subregional Cooperation
Last week, the United States and Vietnam jointly launched the most recent iteration of what has become an annual disaster response exercise and exchange for the mainland Southeast Asian states along the Mekong River, one of the world’s largest, longest, and most resource-rich rivers. The initiative was yet another indication of the ongoing, wider U.S. subregional cooperation with the countries in the Mekong region, which is a subset of U.S. ties with Southeast Asia.
