He affirmed that the Consulate General of Vietnam in Luang Prabang would continue to facilitate and support all parties in effectively implementing the agreed cooperation programmes, thereby contributing to further deepening the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos.
For his part, the Secretary of the Xayaboury Provincial Party Committee affirmed that Quang Ninh has consistently been a loyal and trusted friend, always providing practical and effective support to the northern Lao provinces in general and Xayaboury Province in particular across a wide range of fields. He expressed his hope that Quang Ninh would continue to support Xayaboury in human resource development, particularly by through scholarship programmes for pupils and students; organizing training and capacity-building courses for provincial leaders and managers; and supporting investment in facilities serving education, healthcare and social welfare. He also hoped to continue receiving Quang Ninh’s valuable experience in Party building, political system development, state management and socio-economic development.
