(KPL/VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to
Australia Pham Hung Tam visited the Lao Embassy in Canberra on April 9 to offer
greetings on the traditional Lao New Year festival of Boun Pi May.
Tam, who was also joined by staff members of
the Vietnamese Embassy and other representative bodies of Vietnam, sent best
wishes to Lao Ambassador Sinchai Manivanh, his spouse, the entire staff of the
Lao Embassy in Australia, and their families on the occasion of the New Year.
He expressed his hope that on the basis of
the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between
Vietnam and Laos, the two embassies will maintain exchanges in 2024 and
increase coordination and mutual assistance in task performance, thereby helping
enhance the two countries’ relations with Australia and exploring the
possibility of the three countries’ cooperation in areas of shared interest.
Appreciating the greetings and congratulating
Tam on his appointment as Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia, Ambassador
Manivanh shared the outcomes of Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone’s visit
to Vietnam earlier this year, which had boosted bilateral ties.
The diplomat said he hopes that the Vietnam -
Laos relations as well as cooperation between the two embassies will stay
strong and fruitful.
