A conference discussing measures to promote forestry-agriculture links
between the capital cities of Vietnam and Laos was held in Hanoi on June
30.
During the event, Hanoi’s Department of Agriculture and
Rural Development and Vientiane’s Department of Agriculture and Forestry
agreed to further boost their cooperation in agricultural and rural
development on both scale and content in the coming time.
In
particular, the two sides will work closely together to build a master
plan for agriculture-forestry development in Vientiane to 2020, with a
vision to 2030.
Hanoi will also help Vientiane enhance state
management of agriculture and farming land; irrigation management;
high-technology application and mechanisation in agricultural
production.
The two sides pledged to work as a bridge to connect
the two countries’ businesses operating in the field of agriculture,
forestry and aquaculture.-VNA
