The Quy Nhon University has taught 575 students the Vietnamese language in the southern Lao provinces of Champasak, Sekong and Attapu at a total cost of VND7 billion.

The Binh Dinh Political School has provided knowledge about public administration for 64 key cadres of Sekong and Attapu provinces while Binh Dinh’s agricultural sector also helped improve the managerial skills of agricultural cadres, supplied strains of animal and plants and implement a project to provide equipment for Champasak province’s Veterinary Centre.

Binh Dinh has invested more than US$48 million in 11 projects in Laos from 2006-2010 with a focus on industrial crops, fertilizer production, food production and mineral exploitation.

Binh Dinh and southern Lao provinces will continue to promote cooperation programmes in the near future by accelerating investment projects to increase the efficiency of comprehensive cooperation.
