This is a major historical milestone marking the 70-year journey of arduous revolutionary struggle, challenges and glorious victories, affirming the noble mission of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party in leading the country and people of Laos to develop prosperously and integrate more deeply into the region and the world.
In 1930, the birth of the Indochinese Communist Party, the predecessor of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, marked a historic turning point in the struggle for independence of the three Indochinese countries (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia).
Inheriting the glorious career of the Indochinese Communist Party and responding to the new tasks of the revolution, the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party was established on March 22, 1955, marking a brilliant milestone in the history of Laos, bringing the revolutionary struggle of the Lao people into a new period with new methods and quality, meeting the demands of reality.
Since its inception, through countless difficulties and challenges, the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party has led the people to fight for independence and national liberation and opened the path for development for the country.
Throughout the revolutionary journey, with the correct and creative political and military lines, mobilising the strength of the entire people and army, combining with the strength of the three-country fighting alliance of Laos-Vietnam-Cambodia and the strength of the times, the Lao People's Revolutionary Party led the revolution from one victory to another, achieving a resounding victory on December 2, 1975, liberating the country from the yoke of imperialism and colonialism.
This victory marked the establishment of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, bringing the nation into a new era of independence and freedom. The Lao People’s Revolutionary Party became the ruling party, the nucleus of the political system and led the people into a new stage, the stage of defending and building the country, carrying out the renovation process step by step successfully, perfecting the people's democratic regime to advance towards the goal of socialism. Under the wise leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, with a passionate patriotism and a strong revolutionary tradition, the Lao people have achieved great victories of historical significance in the struggle for national liberation, construction and protection of the Fatherland.
In nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation policy since 1986, Laos has achieved great, comprehensive and historical achievements, with stable politics, guaranteed social order and safety, economic growth, people's lives constantly improved, national defence and security maintained, and foreign relations expanded.
The Party, State and people of Vietnam are extremely happy and warmly congratulate the great victories and achievements that the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and the Lao people have achieved over the past 70 years of glory.
