The program will provide opportunities to several Hungarian companies to participate in developments in Laos.
The projects include the reconstruction of the sewage network of the capital Vientiane, food safety developments and the establishment of an electronic personal identity card system.
As part of a similar program earlier, Hungarian companies completed farming and food safety investments worth USD 38.6 mln in Laos, Szijjártó noted.
The partners signed a bilateral food safety agreement before the press conference.
