“一带一路”对接缅甸水资源开发新思路研究

New Thinking on Development of Water Resources in Myanmar under the Belt and Road Initiative

缅甸拥有丰富的水资源,然而由于经济水平和技术条件限制,缅甸水资源开发程度低,制约了其社会经济的发展。缅甸民选政府执政以后更加注重水资源开发的可持续性,逐渐形成了综合的水资源管理思路。随着对外合作环境的好转,缅甸政府加大了水资源领域对外开放的力度,但基础弱、底子薄是缅甸的现实条件。西方国家竞相加强与缅甸的水资源合作,使中资企业面临的竞争加剧。而缅甸作为中国向西南开放的重要节点,在"一带一路"倡议下,中缅水资源合作也迎来诸多机遇。"一带一路"规划主动与缅甸的水资源开发思路对接,不断适应缅甸的新环境,将促使中缅水资源合作在民生领域、海洋经济等领域做出更大成就。

Myanmar is endowed with abundant water resources,but due to economic and technical limitations,these resources are dramatically underutilized,and then socio-economic development in Myanmar is affected. Since civilian government came into power,more attention has been focused on the sustainability of water resources development,and an integrated water resources management approach has been gradually formed. As the environment for Myanmar to engage in international cooperation improves,the government has further opened this sector.However,weak foundation remains its basic condition. Chinese companies have encountered increasing competition after western countries enhanced water resources cooperation with Myanmar. Myanmar plays a critical role in supporting China's opening-up towards southwest of Asia,under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative,many new opportunities for Sino-Myanmar water resources cooperation are created. The Belt and Road Initiative proactively seek to build synergies with Myanmar's thinking on water resources development,and continuously adjust to the new environment in Myanmar. Therefore,greater achievements will be obtained in bilateral cooperation in livelihoods,marine economy and other fields.
