State President Nguyen Minh Triet and his entourage left Vientiane on the morning of August 25 for Louang Namtha and Champasak provinces.

Lao State President Chummaly Sayasone affirmed that the official visit by President Triet has strengthened the special friendship and solidarity between the two Parties, States and people of Laos and Vietnam.

President Triet expressed his pleasure at the fine development in relations between the two countries over the past years, which has opened up many opportunities for economic, trade and investment cooperation. He repeated his invitation to President Chummaly Sayasone to visit Vietnam soon.

While in the northern province of Louang Namtha, President Triet expressed his hope that Louang Namtha would further cooperate with Vietnamese localities in developing a strong border economy.

On this occasion, President Triet presented Louang Namtha with VND 10 billion (US$520,000) and 30 sets of computers. Some businesses included in the Vietnamese delegation presented US$150,000 to help local poor and disadvantaged families.
