The meeting focused on coordinating the implementation of policies and activities related to modern agricultural communities, farmer water-user communities, and model villages, with participation from the leadership and technical officers of the three ministries, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Tourism.

The 5th Inter-Ministerial Meeting of the Three Sectors focused on reviewing the progress of the working group since the 4th meeting, discussing and approving the draft three-year rolling action plan for 2026–2028, including the 2026 action plan, and holding a joint discussion with the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Tourism on the proposed development of the Ou Rumdoul reservoir in Trapeang Kak as an agro-tourism site. The Agriculture–Water–Rural Development Working Group, created by the three relevant ministries, serves as a coordination mechanism to strengthen cooperation, enhance efficiency, and build synergy in supporting improved livelihoods, resilience, and sustainable socio-economic development in local communities. This mechanism contributes to the implementation of the Royal Government’s Pentagon Strategy Phase 1 by fostering complementarity among modern agricultural communities, farmer water-user communities, and model villages.
