(VOVworld)- On Monday, President Truong Tan Sang hosted a reception for visiting Lao Deputy Prime Minister Somsavad Lengsavad, at which he hailed the guest’s contributions to bilateral collaboration in foreign affairs.

President Truong Tan Sang suggested the two countries set forth specific programs to realize high-level commitments and guidelines drawn up by the two Parties’ leaders. Deputy PM Somsavad Lengsavad urged the two sides to strengthen their coordination mechanisms and create optimal conditions for their ministries, agencies and localities to step up their affiliation. He said a number of Vietnamese enterprises are encountering a range of difficulties in Laos due to fluctuating prices and suggested government leaders work with each other to seek ways to remove any such problems.
