The People's Councils of Hai Duong and Vientiane provinces held talks and exchanged experiences in people's council work.
The People’s Council of Hai Duong province had a working session with a delegation from the People’s Council of Vientiane province, Laos, led by Bun Sone Phet La Van, Deputy Secretary of its Party Committee and Chairman of its People’s Council, on February 14.
The cooperation between the two provinces dates back to October 19, 1984, when they signed a friendship and cooperation agreement. Over the past years, their relationship has been continuously strengthened and expanded.
At the session, both sides shared insights into their respective socio-economic development as well as the functions and tasks of their People’s Councils.
Chairman of the Hai Duong provincial People’s Council Le Van Hieu highlighted the special Vietnam-Laos friendship, noting that last September, the Hai Duong provincial People’s Council passed a resolution to provide financial support for Lao students from Vientiane province to study Vietnamese language preparatory courses in Hai Duong.
Chairman of the Vientiane provincial People’s Council Bun Sone Phet La Van commended Hai Duong’s achievements and expressed his hope for further strengthening the comprehensive cooperation and special solidarity between the two localities.
The Vientiane delegation sought Hai Duong’s experience on investment attraction policies, handling voters' petitions, resolving complaints, and managing human resources. They also inquired about budget allocation and training programmes, among other issues.
In response, Chairman of the Hai Duong provincial People’s Council Le Van Hieu outlined the province’s efforts in industrial infrastructure development and investment attraction, particularly in high-tech sectors and logistics.
Hieu said that the province has issued resolutions supporting land policies, including land rental exemptions, ensuring a balance of benefits for the province, businesses, and residents.
Later, the Vientiane delegation toured Hai Duong’s cage fish farming areas on the Thai Binh river.
