At the working session, both sides discussed issues of mutual concern such as experiences in administrative reforms, land management, poverty reduction and movements to build new rural areas.
On the occasion, the Lao delegation visited Ninh Binh Fertilizer Plant which is expected to become operational early next year. The project has a total investment of more than US$667 million.
