Vice Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly Nguyen Duc Hai, Secretary of the Quang Nam provincial Party Committee Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, and Chairman of the Quang Nam People's Committee Le Van Dung received the Lao National Assembly delegation.

In addition, Mr. Triet talked about THACO’s contributions to Quang Nam’s socio-economic development.
Currently, THACO has several large-scale projects in Southern Laos.
Therefore, Mr. Triet hoped THACO would receive more support from the Laos' Party, National Assembly and Government, and Southern Laos' localities, thereby contributing to the development of the Southern Laos in particular and Laos in general, and enhancement of the special friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Laos.
Currently, THACO is investing in an agricultural complex specialising in fruit cultivation and large-scale livestock farming. The farm covers a total area of over 27,000 hectares in Attapeu and Sekong provinces in Laos.
