According to the agreement, the two companies will discuss and consider the possibility of a distribution partnership.

Phongsavath Senaphuan, Chairman of Phongsubthavy Group said: “This cooperation will contribute to bringing VinFast cars to the Lao market more quickly.”
The representative of the Lao company said they want to deploy the VinFast car dealership system to diversify options for the Lao people.
Phongsubthavy Group, one of the leading corporations in Laos, operates in the fields of construction, real estate, trade, and energy. In recent years, this group has cooperated with the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) to export electricity from Laos to Vietnam.
