Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyễn Hồng Diên paid a courtesy call to Lao Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh in Vientiane on April 11, part of his working trip to Laos to co-chair the border trade development cooperation conference.
Diên said as the global and regional economies are facing numerous difficulties which may negatively impact the Vietnamese and Lao economies, the two countries should become more inter-connected and assist each other to jointly overcome adversities and develop.
