Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Laotian counterpart, Thongloun Sisolith, agreed Wednesday in Tokyo to flesh out the elements of a joint plan to conduct a wide range of development projects in Laos.
The leaders discussed concrete steps to implement the plan, which involves investment in transport, power generation and distribution, human resources, agriculture and public works.
They agreed on the plan at their meeting in Vientiane in September.
