The two sides reached the consensus during talks between visiting Vietnamese Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan and his Lao counterpart Phankham Viphavan in Vientiane on December 6.
In 2014, the two ministries will collaborate with relevant agencies to effectively implement all existing agreements, including a project to improve the quality and efficiency of Vietnam-Laos cooperation in education and human resources development in the 2011-2020 period; a protocol on personnel training cooperation; and an annual agreement on economic, cultural, educational, scientific and technological cooperation.
