(VOVworld) - Authorities from the two provinces of Lao Cai, Vietnam, and Yunnan, China, which are jointly constructing the Lao Cai – Honghe economic zone, met in Lao Cai on Tuesday. The zone will pave the way for developing the Kimming-Lao Cai-Hanoi-Hai Phong economic corridor. The leaders agreed to boost their bilateral engagement in trade and tourism, launch transportation infrastructure projects connecting their localities, and simplify entrance-and-exit procedures. They said exchanges to enhance mutual understanding between Vietnamese and Chinese nationals are equally important for strengthening ties between Lao Cai and Yunnan.
