At the

the guests on the local economic potential, culture and history, as well as
cooperation opportunities in key fields.

province. The two localities have signed numerous agreements on cooperation in
aquaculture, aquatic products processing, agricultural development,
sports-culture and art, and education-training.
The
province exported goods worth VND278,000 to Laos in 2016, up 33.61% annually
and the figure exceeded US$160,000 in the first nine months this year.
It has
strong potential for agricultural production as the province produces over 1.3
million tonnes of rice per year, alongside millions of tonnes of fruits of all
kinds and over 700,000 tonnes of vegetables.
The
locality has also created opportunities for investment in industrial parks and
clusters.
The Lao
Deputy PM said his visit aims to consolidate the traditional friendship between
the two nations, including Tien Giang.
He lauded
the province’s socio-economic and cultural progress and acknowledged its
efforts to boost its cooperation with Khammouane, thus further tightening the
relationship between the two nations.
He also showed
his interest in the cooperation potential between Tien Giang and Lao
localities, particularly in agriculture and ecotourism development, hoping that
the locality would tap the potential in the future.
On the
occasion, Sonexay Siphadone visited the Southern Fruit Research Institute and
the Research Centre of Medicinal Plants in the Military Zone
9 in the province.
