VUFO Secretary General and Vice President Don Tuan Phong made the pledge when receiving Somphanh Phengkhammy, National Assembly Vice Chairman and President of the Committee for Peace and Solidarity of Laos, in Hanoi on August 22.
Phong informed the guest that the VUFO, the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Association and its chapters at all levels have held various activities to make the 55th anniversary of Vietnam-Laos diplomatic ties (September 5) and 40 years since the signing of the bilateral Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (July 18).
