The delegation was headed by Vatsadi Khotnhonha, Vice Chief of Attapu province and Vice Secretary of the province’s Lao People’s Revolutionary Party chapter.

During the working session, Khotnhonha briefed Quang Ngai authorities on Attapu’s efforts to develop its human resources, reduce poverty, streamline administrative procedures, and raise its annual GDP growth per capita to 8-12 percent.

Vice Chairman of the Quang Ngai People’s Committee, Le Quang Thich, spoke briefly about the province’s socio-economic development, particularly the rapid growth of its service sector and industrial parks, including the Dung Quat Economic Zone.

The two provincial authorities agreed to boost bilateral cooperation in agriculture, education, medicine, and information, broadcasting and technological transfers. They also agreed to create favourable conditions for businesses from both countries to survey markets and sign economic, trade and investment contracts.
