The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4, 350 km (2, 703 mi), and it drains an area of 795, 000 km2 (307, 000 sq mi), discharging 457 km3 (110 cu mi) of water annually. From the Tibetan Plateau this river runs through China's Yunnan province, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Burma (Myanmar) became dialogue partners of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework. Luang Prabang, or Louangphrabang (Lao: ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ, literally: Royal Buddha Image (in the Dispelling Fear mudra), pronounced [lÇ”aÅ‹ pÊ°ra. bà ËÅ‹]), is a city located in north central Laos, at the confluence of the Nam Khan river and Mekong River about 300 km north of Vientiane. It is the capital of Luang Prabang Province. The population of the city is about 50, 000.
