Council and head of the province’s
delegation of National Assembly deputies, extends Bunpimay greetings to leaders
of Laos’ Houaphanh province.
The
delegation of Hoa Binh province visits Kaysone Phomvihane memorial site.
The delegation held a working session with the Houaphanh
provincial Party Committee led by its Vice Secretary Khamvone Bunthavon who is
also Chairman of the provincial People’s Council. At the meeting, leaders of
the two provinces shared the two sides’ socio-economic development.
On behalf of Hoa Binh’s leaders, Ninh extended Bunpimay
greetings to leaders and people of Houaphanh province while briefing the host
on the socio-economic development of Hoa Binh in 2017.
He also affirmed Hoa Binh province’s wish that the two
localities will continue enhancing the traditional relations in the direction
of increasing practical socio-economic cooperation activities to benefit both
sides’ development, such as education and training cooperation, building of
tourism tours and routes and restoration of historical relics, among others.
For his part, Khamvone Bunthavon thanked the support of Hoa
Binh’s authorities throughout Houaphanh’s development process, especially in
this year’s Bunpimay festival. He reported that Houaphanh gained many
significant results in socio-economic development in 2017, with economic growth
reaching 8.65 percent and per capita income averaging 1,031 USD per year.
The Lao province has focused on infrastructure development,
particularly the road linking Sam Neua city of Laos with Vietnam’s border gates
in Thanh Hoa and Nghe An. The Houaphanh leader voiced his hope that the two
provinces will continue deepening friendship and Hoa Binh will support
Houaphanh’s socio-economic development, especially by creating favourable
conditions for businesses of the two provinces to build tourism tours
connecting Hoa Binh and Houaphanh.
After the working session, the Hoa Binh delegation and
Houaphanh leaders joined the thread-tying and water splashing rites in Sam Neua,
which are traditional customs of Laos for Bunpimay.
During the visit, the delegation toured some
historical relics in Houaphanh and Xiangkhouang provinces with a view to helping
Hoa Binh’s businesses sign and form tourism routes with the Lao provinces in
the coming time./.
