As many as 14 representatives from enterprises highly appreciated the support of the Laos Government for Vietnamese enterprises in business in the host country. They suggested that the Vietnamese Government provide more support about mechanisms and policies related to land ownership rights, procedures on export and import of goods and labor.

Firms also proposed two State banks and governments to consider facilitating and encouraging the use of Lao and Vietnamese currencies for trade transactions between the two countries to reduce the reliance on USD and pressure on the shortage of foreign currencies.
