Vietnam, Laos intensify financial cooperation

Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung announced that Vietnam will work closely with Laos to promote the training of Lao lecturers, undergraduates and postgraduates in finance and banking in Vietnam.

Deputy PM Hung said he completely agreed with cooperation programmes between the two countries’ finance ministries and asked them to continue cooperating in this field, contributing to expanding bilateral trade investment.

He said ministries and sectors of the two countries should promote the sharing of experience and assist each other, especially in human resources training for the finance and banking sector to meet the demand of the State economic management system at the central and local levels.

Minister Somdi Duongdi of Laos thanked the Vietnamese government and finance ministry for their precious support to Laos in building financial mechanisms, policies and law. He said that he hoped the Vietnamese government will provide continued support to Laos in training human resources and sharing experience in the financial management in the near future.
