Vietnam, Lao localities boost trade union links

The Trade Union of the central province of Quang Nam has signed an agreement with its Lao counterpart from Champasak province at a ceremony in the Vietnamese locality on August 18, aiming to promote cooperation between the two agencies in 2016-2020.

Under the agreement, the two sides will enhance biennial exchange of delegations, focusing on sharing experience in protecting the legitimate rights of labourers, developing trade unions in private enterprises and training trade union staff at provincial and district levels.
