The MoU also covers bilateral collaboration to beef up trade-investment and business connectivity toward the opening of a Champasak - Ho Chi Minh City shopping center in the Lao locality. The southern Vietnamese economic hub, meanwhile, will further support its Lao partner’s human resources training, particularly via their coordination of a program that send students from Champasak to live with Vietnamese families during their study in the city.

Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Phan Van Mai and Governor of Champasak Vilayvong Boutdakham highlighted the importance of the deal for both localities and for deepening the nations’ traditional relations, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation.

They said they are determined to effectively turn the contents discussed into specific projects, bringing practical benefits to their localities.
