Chairman of the Long An People’s Committee Tran Van Ut thanked the two guests for their gesture, saying he expects the three provinces will cooperate more effectively in 2023 and beyond, particularly in fostering border trade and services, in order to build and maintain the shared border of peace, friendship and cooperation for mutual development.
