The Party, State and people of Viet Nam have consistently supported the comprehensive reform process of Laos and always stood side by side with the neighbouring country, giving it the highest priority in the cause of national defence, construction and development, Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Minh Tam has said.

Viet Nam has been actively supporting the United Nations’ reform process, and the UN strongly encourages the Southeast Asian nation to continue voicing its support for efforts to make the organisation more effective, efficient, and responsive to global challenges.
