According to ITPC, Laos is a potential market with rich mineral resources, besides having a common border with Vietnam along ten provinces stretching across 2,067 kilometers.

In the past few years, Vietnam has been investing in Laos and has become the second largest investor in Lao after China.

However, in the commercial sector, Vietnamese goods have not expanded as expected with limited representative agencies in Laos.

To overcome this disadvantage, ITPC will constantly hold investment promotion programs so that Vietnamese goods can access the Laos market and increase exports.
