China is ready to work with Laos to take effective measures to push forward bilateral economic and trade cooperation in the reciprocal and win-win spirit, said China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin in Vientiane on Monday.

Jia, member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks at a meeting with Bouasone Bouphavanh, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and Lao prime minister.

Jia said the two sides should map out a plan on bilateral economic cooperation and increase mutual investment. China encourages Chinese investment in Laos and welcomes Lao businesses to China.
