The International Bank for Economic Co-operation (IBEC) hosted a meeting with H.E. Mr. Santiphab Phomvihane, Minister of Finance of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and his accompanying delegation at the Bank’s headquarters in Moscow.

The IBEC delegation was headed by Mr. Denis Ivanov, Chairman of the Board, and included Mr. Nguyen Vinh Hung, Member of the Board, representing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

The meeting took place in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. The parties exchanged views on the current priorities of the Lao financial sector and IBEC’s strategic initiatives aimed at expanding cooperation with Asian countries and broadening the Bank’s shareholder base.

The Lao PDR was highlighted by IBEC’s shareholders as an important and promising partner for strengthening the Bank’s regional presence and developing cooperation across Asia.

IBEC outlined its Development Strategy 2024–2026, which focuses on supporting sustainable trade and investment projects, strengthening partnerships with financial institutions in Asia, and enhancing multicurrency settlement infrastructure.

Both sides noted the importance of utilizing the potential of the International Bank for Economic Co-operation as an effective platform for the development of mutual trade and economic cooperation. The current priority is to identify prospective projects in the Lao PDR that could be supported by the Bank’s financial instruments, contributing to the diversification of trade and investment flows.

The meeting reaffirmed the commitment of both sides to maintain a constructive dialogue and explore practical areas of partnership.
