General Secretary and President Trong, who was on an official
visit to Laos, informed his host about the outcomes of his talks and meetings
with the country’s top leaders, expressing his delight at the continuous development
of bilateral ties.
He noted that Vietnam-Laos relations are exemplary, faithful and disinterested
ones hard to be found in the world. Amid a complicated context with mixed
chances and challenges, the maintenance and promotion of their special relationship
are essential and match both countries’ development.
In the development of each side and the enhancement of bilateral links, it is
necessary to learn from experience of former leaders, including former Party
General Secretary and President Choummaly Sayasone, so as to unceasingly
consolidate these rare relations.
For his part, Sayasone emphasised that the time-tested Laos-Vietnam relations
have been increasingly strengthened. The friendship between the two countries’
people is extremely profound and inseparable, and the solidification of that
special solidarity is vital for both nations, he noted.
He expressed his hope that the two countries will continue training incumbent
and future cadres, increase experience sharing and boost mutual understanding
between their people, especially younger generations.
Also on February 24, Party General Secretary and President Trong visited the
construction site of the building of the Lao National Assembly – a gift from
the Vietnamese Party, State and people.
Its construction began on November 1, 2017, and the building is expected to be
inaugurated in late 2020.
The Vietnamese leader asked the investor – the Ministry of Construction of
Vietnam – and contractors to make utmost efforts with the highest sense of
responsibility so as to build the building with the highest quality, helping it
become a symbol of the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive
cooperation between the two countries.
The same day, Party General Secretary and President of Laos Bounnhang Vorachith
hosted a banquet in honour of the visiting leader of Vietnam and his entourage.
