Son La official pays courtesy visit to Vietnamese Consulate General in Luang Prabang

Cha A Cua, Deputy Secretary of the Son La provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, on October 20 afternoon led a delegation on a courtesy visit to the Vietnamese Consulate General in Luang Prabang as part of their working trip to Laos. The delegation was received by Consul General Vu Ngoc Ly.

At the meeting, Ly provided an overview of the consulate's activities and cooperation between Vietnamese localities and northern Laos. Since the beginning of the year, the agency has received more than 40 delegations from Vietnamese provinces, cities, agencies and organisations seeking to exchange information and explore cooperation opportunities across various sectors.

The Son La delegation meets with the Vietnamese Consulate General in Luang Prabang.

Son La has been among the localities actively pursuing external relations and comprehensive cooperation with Lao provinces. Cooperation programmes have focused on education, healthcare, agricultural development and infrastructure support, contributing to socio-economic development in Lao localities.

The Consul General acknowledged Son La's cooperation and expressed hope that the province would further strengthen coordination and information sharing with the consulate to improve the effectiveness of cooperation between the two countries’ localities.

Cha A Cua, Deputy Secretary of the Son La provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, discusses cooperation between Son La and Lao provinces with Vietnamese Consul General Vu Ngoc Ly.

Cua reaffirmed Son La's commitment to strengthening the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos, as well as maintaining close ties with Lao localities.

Over the past time, Son La has implemented various support initiatives in education, healthcare, environmental sanitation and agricultural development, including providing seedlings and sharing farming experience to help improve local livelihoods, he said.

He called on the Vietnamese Consulate General in Luang Prabang to continue coordinating in information exchange and supporting Son La in effectively implementing external relations and local cooperation initiatives. 

He also urged greater public outreach among border communities, particularly border ethnic groups with close ties, to promote compliance with border management regulations, thus maintaining security and public order, and strengthening friendship and solidarity between the people of Vietnam and Laos./.
