VIENTIANE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Mar, 2024) Laos is committed to continue investing in nutrition among target groups due to its critical role in the growth and development of the country, according to Deputy Prime Minister Kikeo Khaykhamphithoune.
Kikeo made the remarks at the ninth national nutrition forum under the theme of "Nutrition for Human Capital Development", the local news website Lao Pattana News reported on Thursday.
