Thuong, who is also Politburo
member and Secretary of the CPVCC, made the statement during a meeting with
General Secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central
Committee and President of Laos Bounnhang Volachith in Vientiane on July 25
during his trip to the country to attend the sixth theoretical workshop between
the two Parties.
He congratulated Laos on its important achievements after two years of
implementing the Resolution adopted by the 10th National Party Congress,
believing that under the leadership of the LPRP, the Lao people will continue
to gain new and greater successes in the renovation process, towards
successfully holding the 11th National Party Congress.
On behalf of Vietnamese Party, State leaders, and people, Thuong extended
profound condolences to the Lao counterparts over losses caused by the recent
hydropower dam collapse and expressed his belief that the Lao people in
affected areas will soon be able to overcome the incident, restore production,
and stabilise their lives.
The Vietnamese official informed the host about the outcomes of the workshop
between the two Parties, saying that both sides discussed the achievements,
shortcomings, and lessons in the ideological work, and proposed measures to
improve it in the current context.
He said the CPVCC’s Commission for Information and Education and the LPRP
Central Committee’s Commission for Propaganda and Training will continue
working closely together to realise the resolutions of each Party, raise public
awareness of the Vietnam-Laos special ties, and prevent distorted allegations
of hostile forces that aim to divide the bilateral relationship.
Volachith, for his part, vowed to join hands with Vietnam to reinforce the
special solidarity and everlasting ties between the two nations.
According to the Lao leader, the ideological work is significant to
Party-building and the workshop brought both sides a chance to enrich arguments
about the ideological work during the renovation process in the two
countries.
The host wished that both sides would increase the sharing of information and
topics of mutual concern in order to point out urgent issues in national
construction and defence.
He thanked Vietnamese leaders for conveying their sympathy over losses caused
by the recent hydropower dam collapse, which he said, reflects the Vietnam-Laos
special solidarity.
Earlier on the same day, Thuong held a working session with head of the LPRP
Central Committee’s Commission for Propaganda and Training Kikeo
Khaykhamphithoune, during which they debated the information-education work and
cooperation between the two commissions in the near future.
They pledged to effectively realise the agreements made between the two
Parties’ leaders, as well as the cooperation agreement between the two
commissions for the 2016-2021 period. They also agreed to share information and
experience in the information and education work, direct information and
education agencies from the central to local levels to offer mutual support to
successfully implement the resolutions of each Party.
During the trip, Thuong is scheduled to visit Bolikhamxay province and hold a
working session with the Vietnamese Embassy in Laos.
Vice Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council Ta Ngoc Tan will hold a
working session with Sonethanou Thammavong, Chairman of the Lao Academy of
Social Sciences and Vice Chairman of the Lao National Council for Social
Sciences.
