MRC supports Lao green growth initiative
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) has expressed strong support for Laos over its green growth strategy, adding that the inter-governmental organisation is ready to share its resources to ensure this initiative is sustainable. “Green growth is obviously a pathway to sustainable development and I’m pleased to see the Lao PDR embark on a greener economy and development as it’s important to avoid the ‘grow now and clean up later’ way of doing things,” MRC CEO Mr Pham Tuan Phan said last week.
