The initiative facilitates exposure to successful development models in Vietnam, thereby supporting more effective governance and investment promotion strategies.
During the working session, both sides focused on exchanging experiences in public policy formulation and mechanisms for mobilizing resources for infrastructure development, as well as strategic orientations for advancing high-tech industrial production and fostering deeper integration into high-tech supply chains.
Lao Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Maythong Thammavongsa highly commended the achievements of Becamex IDC Corporation, noting that it represents a typical model that Laos could study and adapt in line with its specific conditions.
Lao Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Maythong Thammavongsa also expressed his desire to strengthen cooperation with Becamex IDC Corporation in key areas such as infrastructure development, human resource training, and the building of a sustainable economy.
