A Champasack Delegation headed by Mr. Pachit Noraseng, Deputy Director of Champasack Department of Agriculture and Forestry paid a visit to Quang Ngai on 5 June 2008, a source from Quang Ngai Department of Foreign Affairs said.
This was a move followed by an MOU between the two provinces of Champasack, Laos and Quang Ngai, Vietnam signed by the two provincial high-rank leaders during a recent visit to Laos in last May by Quang Ngai top-level officials.
During the visit, Champasack Delegation held a meeting with Quang Ngai counterpart delegation led by Mr. Dao Minh Huong, Deputy Director of Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD). Champasack Pachit Noraseng had in the meeting requested Quang Ngai DARD to support technical training for Champasack staff in the area of cultivation, especially selection and development of plant varieties.
Noraseng suggested establishment of a working team of either side to boost up the mutual cooperation in the upcoming time. He also invited Quang Ngai investors to come to and seek for opportunities in Champasack.
Quang Ngai and Champasack have had a long-lasting traditional relationship characterized by frequent exchange of visits by the two sides’ leaders and some other cooperative programs, especially in the area of training.
