Ngokutsho kwemithombo yeendaba zaseJapan, i-China, njengommelwane kumazwe abamba uMlambo iMekong e-Indochina, kudala inomdla kulo mmandla, kodwa i-United States isanda kuphuhlisa umdla okhulayo kulo mmandla.

IJapan kufuneka ithathe eli thuba ke ngoko, ukubuyisela uphuhliso lommandla ngentsebenziswano esondeleyo neTshayina kunye neMelika.
Iinkokeli zaseJapan nezamazwe amahlanu akuMzantsi-mpuma Asia woMlambo iMekong—iKhambodiya, iLaos, iMyanmar, iThailand neViet Nam—zahlanganisana eTokyo kwintlanganiso yazo yokuqala ngqa “yeJapan-Mekong Summit” eyayingoNovemba 6-7.

Isibhengezo saseTokyo esamkelwe kule ngqungquthela sibandakanya imilinganiselo yenkxaso yaseJapan, kubandakanywa nophuhliso lothungelwano losasazo oludibanisa iindawo zokuvelisa kunye namaziko oshishino asasazeke kuwo wonke ummandla, kunye nokwandiswa koncedo kwinkalo yokhuseleko lokusingqongileyo.

IJapan kunye neChina ziye zazifumana zikhuphisana ngempembelelo, xa kuziwa kuphuhliso lommandla waseMekong, ukuphumeza izicwangciso zabo malunga nokwakhiwa kweepaseji zezothutho ngokwakhiwa kweendlela, iibhulorho kunye neetonela.
I-China ibonelele ngoncedo lwenkqubo ye-Economic Corridor yaseMntla-South, equka ummandla osuka kwiPhondo lase-Yunnan lase-China eMntla ukuya e-Thailand emazantsi.
IJapan, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ibonelele ngoncedo olusemthethweni lophuhliso lokwakhiwa kwenkqubo ye-East-West Economic Corridor, ehlanganisa indawo yase-Indochina, kunye neprogram ye-Southern Economic Corridor, edibanisa iBangkok neHo Chi Minh City.
Ukusetyenziswa kweendlela zomhlaba, njengeNdlela Yoqoqosho yaseMpuma-Ntshona, kunokulinciphisa kakhulu ixesha elithatyathwa ukuthutha iimpahla xa kuthelekiswa nokuzithumela ngolwandle ngeMalacca Straits.
Nangona kunjalo, kukho imiqobo ekufuneka yoyiswe ukuze kuphunyezwe ipaseji yezothutho esebenza ngokutyibilikayo, ngakumbi ukuba amasiko kunye neenkqubo zokuvalelwa kwimida ziya kufuneka zidityaniswe kwaye zilungelelaniswe.

Ngoko ke, ingxelo edibeneyo efikelelwe kwi-summit iphawula ukubaluleka kokuphucula iziseko ezisisiseko zamazwe aseMekong, kungekhona kuphela kwi-hardware efana neendlela, kodwa isofthiwe efana nokulawula umda.

I-Japan kufuneka igxininise inkxaso yayo yokwakhiwa ngokutsha kwamaziko anjalo kunye nokuqeqeshwa kwamasiko kunye nabasebenzi abavalelwa bodwa.

IJapan kunye neTshayina zibonelele ngoncedo lophuhliso kumazwe aseMekong ngokwezakhelo zawo. Kodwa ukuqinisekisa ukuba iimpahla zinokuthuthwa kwaye abantu banokuhamba ngaphandle kweengxaki kwiipaseji ezintathu eziphambili, kuyimfuneko ukuseka imithetho eqhelekileyo ebandakanya ukusetyenziswa kwabo.

Ngenxa yoko, kubalulekile ukuba "iForam yaseJapan-China ye-Mekong ye-Policy Dialogue Forum" eyasekwa yi-Tokyo ne-Beijing ngo-2008, isetyenziselwe ukutshintshiselana ngezimvo malunga nemigaqo-nkqubo yexesha elizayo yommandla waseMekong ukukhusela uphuhliso kunye nokuzinza kommandla.
Kwakhona okubalulekileyo yintsebenziswano ne-United States. Ulawulo lukaMongameli waseMelika uBarack Obama ubeke ukubaluleka ekomelezeni amakhonkco obudlelwane kunye nezizwe zaseAsia.
NgoJulayi, iUnited States yabamba intlanganiso yayo yokuqala yabefundisi kunye nezizwe ezine zaseMekong eThailand-iMyanmar kuphela kwelizwe elikhutshiweyo kwiforum.
Ukujongana nemeko yaseMyanmar, ulawulo luka-Obama luye lwahlaziya umgaqo-nkqubo wezohlwayo wezoqoqosho kuphela kwaye uxelele i-junta ukuba ikulungele ukuphucula ubudlelwane nelizwe.

I-China iye yandisa impembelelo yayo eMyanmar, eLaos naseCambodia, isebenzisa uncedo lwezoqoqosho njengesixhobo sobuchule.

Ukuxhalaba kweWashington malunga neentshukumo zaseBeijing kucingelwa ukuba sesona sizathu siphambili sokuba iMelika ithathe umgaqo-nkqubo wokusebenzisana neMyanmar.

Njengoko iJapan isakha ubudlelwane bentsebenziswano kunye neTshayina, kufuneka isebenze ne-United States ngendlela ekhuthaza isiphumo esilungileyo kuwo onke amaqela.
