At the opening ceremony, Deputy Head of the MIC’s Press Department Vu Thanh Son highlighted that the training courses are organised to concretise cooperation agreements between the two ministries, aiming to improve professional skills and share experience for Lao journalists.
Lecturers, who are journalists from the MIC and Radio the Voice of Vietnam, will share their experience with Lao colleagues in covering major events, particularly when Laos holds its 10 National Party Congress and resume the Chair of ASEAN in 2016, Son added.
For his part, Director of the Lao Institute for Information, Culture and Tourism Vilaythong Sisanone said that some 45 Lao trainees will discuss and learn modern journalism skills during the five-day course.
He asked the trainees to take advantage of the opportunities to acquire knowledge and better off their skills, serving national development.
