Ho Chi Minh City also pays heed to promoting cooperation with Lao localities increasingly in a deep and practical manner, he noted.
According to Nen, the city regularly directs Party organs, administration bodies and mass organizations to actively promote economic exchanges, create favorable conditions for businesses to seek investment opportunities, launch trade promotion activities, and introduce local products to each other's markets.
Ho Chi Minh City is also actively fostering tourism and people-to-people exchange, he said, pointing to programs that facilitate interaction between organizations and agencies, along with support provided for Lao officials and students in the city.
