Meeting with Vice Governor of Guizhou province Lu Yongzheng, Khoi said that as the province and Vietnamese localities share various similarities in development capacity and boast huge cooperation potential, they should work together in agricultural trade, transport connection, logistics, tourism and education, as well as exchange experience in poverty alleviation.

This is significant to contributing to the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, the diplomat said.

Lu, for his part, affirmed Guizhou attaches much importance to cooperating with Vietnamese localities although they share no borderline, stressing this is a core in its external economic relations policy.
