While there the delegation paid courtesy visits to General Secretary and President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith and Laotian Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone. It also held talks with Sinlavong Khoutphaythoune, president of the Central Committee of the Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC).

During the meetings, the Vietnamese officials congratulated Laos on its great and significant achievements after over 36 years of renewal, expressing their belief that under the leadership of the LPRP, the administration by the Government, and the supervision by the National Assembly, the Laotian people will continue to record new and greater achievements.

In line with this, the Vietnamese side always strongly supports the national renewal, protection, construction, and development of Laos, she affirmed.

Hoai said she rejoices over the special solidarity that exists between both sides, which is increasingly expanding across multiple fields. She therefore thanked Laos for its significant support of the nation in its past liberation struggle and current period of national construction and development.

Therefore, Vietnam will do its best together with Laos to preserve and nurture the special relationship that exists between the two nations, for the sake of their people, as a means of contributing to peace, stability, co-operation, and development in the region and the world, she affirmed.

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

Sisoulith and Siphandone highlighted the significance of the visit, outlining that it demonstrates the special joint relationship.

They congratulated the Vietnamese side on its comprehensive achievements over recent times, especially in socioeconomic development and Party building, expressing their confidence that the country will make greater achievements moving forward.

The Laotian leaders expressed their delight at the development of the bilateral relationship, highlighting the importance of the ties, as well as the relationship between Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

They suggested the two sides work closely in order to effectively carry out agreements between high-ranking leaders of the two Parties and nations, thereby improving the efficiency of co-operation across all fields.

In the framework of the trip, the Vietnamese official held a meeting with representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy and the Vietnamese community in Laos. The delegation laid flowers at the monuments of President Kaysone Phomvihane and President Souphanouvong as well as visiting Star Telecom Company (Unitel) and Luangprabang province.
