On May 22, 2025, the Mekong Institute (MI) had the honor of welcoming a delegation from Quang Tri Province, Viet Nam, to its headquarters in Khon Kaen, Thailand. The delegation was led by Mr. Thai Huu Lieu, Deputy Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and included key representatives from the Quang Tri Provincial Office. 

Mr. Madhurjya Kumar Dutta, Director of Trade and Investment Facilitation at MI, together with MI program staff, warmly received the delegation and facilitated a productive exchange of ideas.
