Regional priorities: The First Asia-Pacific Water Summit held in Beppu, Japan in 2007 generated a great deal of interest in water security in the region. In parallel to the regional efforts of the Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF), Viet Nam took an active role in the promotion of water security, since late 2010, by leading a task force of the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP) to examine water security in the context of regional cooperation in South-East Asia. At the 8th General Conference of CSCAP, held in Hanoi in November 2011, a member of Viet Nam CSCAP delegation proposed the concept of building up “water-secured culture” in cooperation.
