Laos has been the largest recipient of Vietnamese overseas investment so far, he said, adding Vietnam’s projects have helped Laos take care of its residents, particularly those living in the remote and border areas.
Along with generating incomes and improve local livelihoods, Vietnamese enterprises have contributed to nurturing the special solidarity between the two nations, he underlined.
The Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security handed over the Academy of Politics of the Lao People’s Public Security to the Lao ministry last year, he said, describing the project as an exemplary one in the bilateral cooperation.
During his stay in Laos, President To Lam will witness the signing and exchange of various documents that facilitate Vietnamese firms’ business operation in Laos, he said, adding the Lao side expects more Vietnamese investments in the nation following his visit.
The visit to Laos by President To Lam is expected to make contribution to fostering the Vietnam – Laos special ties for peace, stability, cooperation and sustainable development in the region and the world.
