The Association of Southeast Asian Water Utilities Network (SEAWUN) comprises 7 countries in the region, aiming to enhance cooperation for the improvement and sustainable development of the water sector.

SEAWUN was established and launched during the Vietnam Water Week 2023 in Binh Duong from September 28th to 30th. Its founding members include Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The association’s mission is to strengthen collaboration for the improved and sustainable development of the water sector in Southeast Asia.
