                    [Summary] => Philippine Ambassador to Laos Antonio Cabangon Chua is eyeing a countertrade agreement between Laos and the Philippines to improve trade between the two countries.


Chua said that the Philippines can export to Laos Philippine-made jeepneys and other commodities in exchange for timber and precious gems which Laos has in abundance.


He said a countertrade program would not result in a depletion of hard currency for both countries and would even foster a "vigorous two-way trade."
