Vietnam will do its best, together with Laos, to preserve and nurture the special relationship between the two nations, for the sake of their people, contributing to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world, she affirmed.

The Vietnamese official highly valued cooperation results between the CPV and the LPRP, stressing that the CPV Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation is willing to collaborate with the LFNC’s Central Committee to effectively implement agreements between high-ranking leaders of the two Parties and States, and between the two agencies.

They congratulated Vietnam on its comprehensive achievements in recent times, especially in socioeconomic development and Party building, expressing their belief that Vietnam will make greater achievements in the time to come.

The Lao leaders expressed their delight at the development of the Vietnam-Laos relationship, emphasising the importance of the bilateral relations as well as the relationship between Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
