Non-traditional Security Challenges

Overview

The Mekong-ROK Cooperation Fund aims to foster collaboration among six nations, addressing non-traditional security threats like communicable diseases, natural disasters, transnational crimes, terrorism, cyber-crimes, and drug trafficking. Prioritizing peace and security, the plan encourages close coordination among relevant agencies. In response to global health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the countries commit to exchanging timely information, sharing best practices, and supporting each other with necessary resources.

Joint projects, like the Korea-Mekong Future Peace Community program, contribute to post-conflict recovery by clearing explosive remnants, supporting victims, and promoting human rights in the region.
