The meeting not only allowed for the exchange of valuable lessons but also paved the way for future cooperation, further strengthening the relationship between Laos and Cuba.
On Friday, President Ferro is scheduled to depart the Lao capital for Luang Prabang, where he will visit the Provincial and District 1 People’s Courts and explore local points of interest.
The concluding day of President Ferro’s visit, Saturday will see him return to Vientiane Capital to the Food and Drug Research Center at the Ministry of Health, emphasizing potential collaboration in health-related research and initiatives.
