Leaders of state audit agencies of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam gathered in Hanoi on June 1 to discuss measures to strengthen bilateral co-operation and build a long-term trilateral co-operation mechanism.

At the talk, Vietnam’s State Auditor General Vuong Dinh Hue suggested joint auditing activities among the three countries in several areas such as tourism and environment. This may be the setting up of joint audit delegations, Hue said.

The audit leaders agreed to propose their governments to include audit co-operation into the inter-governmental co-operation programme.

They also agreed to organise an annual rotating meeting to strengthen and raise the effectiveness of co-operative activities.

The next talk is expected to take place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2010. (VNA)
