The forest protection bodies of Vietnam’s central province of Thua Thien – Hue and Laos’s southern province of Sekong have signed a cooperation deal to promote forest management and protection, natural resource conservation, and forest produce management along the shared borderline. The document was inked in Sekong on July 31 between the forest protection sub-department under the Thua Thien – Hue Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the forestry inspection sub-department under the Sekong Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
Under the freshly inked deal, the two sub-departments will increase sharing information, knowledge, and experience to prevent and control illegal deforestation, natural resource exploitation, hunting, and timber and forest produce trade and transportation.
