HCM City, central Lao provinces boost cooperation
Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City Nguyen Thanh Phong received leaders of three central Lao provinces – Savanlakhet, Khammuoane, and Bolykhamsai – on July 18.
At the meeting, Phong said a conference on promoting trade and tourism investment in the Lao localities scheduled for July 19 in the city reflects interests of sides involved in stepping up their practical cooperation.
He said the event is held in the context of the two countries celebrating the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations and 40 years of signing their Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.
Ho Chi Minh City appreciates the Lao President’s first-class labour order and is committed to doing its utmost to foster the two countries’ comprehensive partnership, Phong stated.
