Huan told his guests that in 2011, Ninh Binh and Laos’s Oudomxay province signed a memorandum of understanding on their cooperation programme.
Since then, Ninh Binh has helped Oudomxay train its 80 students at Hoa Lu University, while the Lao province has also helped Ninh Binh train eight students at the Laos National University. In addition, Ninh Binh has also granted 5 billion VND (210,000 USD) for Oudomxay to build works for the benefit of locals.
He expressed his hope that through this visit, the delegation will help with popularising the image of Ninh Binh’s land and people, and create favourable conditions for the province’s news agencies to exchange experience with the Lao side.
Vilavone Phanthavong briefed the host on some features of Alunmay Magazine - a theory research body of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, and reviewed the cooperation between the magazine and Vietnam’s Communist Review.
