State President receives Lao Presidential Office Minister

State President Truong Tan Sang proposed leaders of Vietnamese and Lao presidential offices need to work out specific cooperation programmes to expand the contents of agreements between the two countries’ politburos.

Ministries, sectors and localities from the two countries should strengthen delegation exchange and practical cooperation to help businesses operate effectively, Mr. Sang said.

The Lao Minister said his office will coordinate with Vietnamese agencies to prepare for Vietnamese Party and State leaders’ working visits to Laos in the coming time.

Mr. Boupha awarded the First Class Isala Order to the Presidential Office of Viet Nam, the Second Class Isala Order to the Head of the Presidential Office Dao Viet Trung, and Friendship Orders to five officials within the office.

He also awarded Friendship Medals to two others in the office in recognition of their contributions to the comprehensive cooperation between the two offices./.
