Vietnam’s southern province of Dong Nai will increase its cooperation with Laos’ localities to contribute to bolstering friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.

Chairman of the Dong Nai People’s Committee Vo Van Mot made the statement at a meeting with Lao Deputy National Assembly Chairwoman Pany Yathotu during his visit to the country from June 21-27.

The Laos Deputy NA Chairwoman said the visit is a good chance for both Vietnam and Laos'  provinces to strengthen cooperation in the sectors of their strength.

She also said she hoped that Dong Nai, which is strong in agriculture, will continue to help provinces in the central and southern of Laos to develop the growing of industrial crops, food processing and infrastructure building./.
