As ASEAN strives to achieve further integration of digital economies, Laos is trying to foster better cooperation with neighboring countries Vietnam and Cambodia on this front.

This move came as over 100 digitalization experts from Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia met during an international conference on digitalization and investment conference in Ho Chi Minh City.

Speaking at the event was the Lao Academy of Social and Economic Sciences (LASES) President, Dr. Sonethano Thammavong who say, “Laos’ digital transformation, which encompasses various sectors including commerce and investment, is currently at a basic and initial stage. Therefore, Laos hopes to exchange and share experiences with experts from Vietnam and Cambodia and to learn from their experiences.”

He said, “Vietnam has been progressing faster than Cambodia and Laos, especially in the fields of tourism, commerce, and investment. The nations’ teamwork, particularly in the digital economy sector, plays a significant role in promoting the development of other areas.”Source: Laotian times
