PHNOM PENH, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- The senior officials from countries along Mekong River including Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand on Thursday gathered here to attend the Mekong Regional Forum on legal preparedness, regional arrangement for disaster, and communicable disease emergencies, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
"We have to set up a regional law which has similar tools to work together in fields of disaster management and communicable diseases," Nhim Vanda, senior minister and first deputy president of the National Disaster Management Committee (NDMC) of Cambodia said at the forum.
Cambodia will approve a law of disaster management soon, he said. Cambodia already signed on the Asean law on disaster Management in 2005 to work with international partners for exchange information and help on the natural disasters and other risks for people, he added.
