HANOI, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong on Tuesday urged the governments of Vietnam and Laos to work out measures to boost two-way trade and connectivity in economy, transport infrastructure and energy.
At a reception for visiting Lao Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith in Hanoi, Trong called on the two governments to remove difficulties and obstacles to ensure the progress and quality of Vietnamese investment projects in Laos, Vietnam News Agency reported.
The party leader also stressed the need to improve the quality and efficiency of bilateral cooperation in education, training and human resource development.
Apart from sharing information and experience in the party building work, state and socioeconomic management and the implementation of party resolutions, Vietnam and Laos should step up collaboration in national defense, security and external affairs, he said.
