Hanoi gives priority to cooperation with Vientiane
Hanoi (VNA) – Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party
Committee Dinh Tien Dung has affirmed that Hanoi always gives high priority to
the development of friendship and cooperation with Lao localities, especially the
capital city of Vientiane.
During a working
session with Secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central
Committee and chief of the LPRP Central Committee’s Office Thongsalith
Mangnomek on February 17, Dung informed the guest about comprehensive achievements
made by Hanoi last year, including a 8.89% growth in gross regional domestic
product – a record in a decade.
He said Hanoi had pooled
the involvement of the entire political system and people in all of its
programmes, unlocked resources for development effectively, arranged the right
personnel for the right jobs, enhanced inspection and supervision to win public
trust.
According to him, ties
between the two capital cities as well as between Hanoi and Lao localities have
kept growing on various channels with effective projects, including in economy,
health care, education, agriculture, military and people-to-people exchange.
Mangnomek, for his
part, said his visit aims to share experience between the two offices of the Party
Central Committees and sign a cooperation agreement between them.
He said Hanoi’s development lessons are invaluable experiences for
Vientiane in the coming time.
As scheduled on
February 18, Permanent Vice Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Thi Tuyen
will take the Lao delegation to an outstanding cooperative model in the
outlying district of Gia Lam./.
