Two other local enterprises are operating in Laos with combined registered capital of about 747 billion VND, mostly in agriculture, industry and forestry. 

Over the past five years, Kon Tum has assisted Sekong, Attapeu and Ratanakiri in building schools, hospitals and welfare facilities worth over 16 billion VND.  With the support of neighbouring countries, Kon Tum’s K53 Group found and repatriated 1,259 sets of remains of soldiers, including 872 in Laos and the remaining in Cambodia.
