Measures to promote the Viet Nam-Laos-Cambodia triangle of development topped the agenda of the fourth summit held between the three countries, Tuesday, writes Vietnam News Agency online.
Attending the meeting was Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and his Lao and Cambodian counterparts, Bouasone Bouphavanh and Samdech Hun Sen, in Da Lat city, the central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
The on-going implementation of a master plan to develop the border region between the three countries, was said to have yielded encouraging results.
The master plan was agreed upon in July, 2004, and on the Vientiane Declaration on building the development triangle.
Projects such as hydroelectricity, mining, and the development of industrial crops have been carried out in the region, the three sides said.
They added that they have actively prepared human resources for further development like establishing a network of vocational training centres in Laos’ Sekong province and Cambodia’s Ratnakiri and Mondulkiri provinces.
Many Vietnamese schools have actively cooperated with their Lao and Cambodia partners in this field.
The three sides agreed to continue with their cooperation to carry out the development plan with the aim of intensifying joint investment efforts between the three countries in the triangle region.
They reached an agreement on a mechanism aimed at creating favourable conditions to attract investment and promote commercial development.
