(KPL/VNA) The relationship between Vietnam and Laos is an invaluable asset and crucial to the revolutionary cause of both countries, State President Luong Cuong affirmed while meeting former high-ranking leaders of Laos in Vientiane on April 25 as part of his two-day state visit to Laos.
At his meetings with Bounnhang Vorachith and Choummaly Sayasone, former Party General Secretaries and Presidents of Laos, Cuong conveyed to them the traditional new year Bunpimay greetings from Vietnam’s Party General Secretary To Lam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man.
He emphasised that Vietnam always appreciates the valuable contributions of the former Lao leaders to the special Vietnam-Laos relationship and hopes that with their prestige and extensive experience, they will continue to support and contribute ideas to further strengthening and deepening the cooperative relationship between the two Parties and countries.
The former Lao leaders congratulated Vietnam on its great achievements in recent times, including its increasingly enhanced role and position in the international arena. They showed their belief that the special solidarity between the two Parties, States and peoples will continue to be strengthened and bear fruit in the coming time.
They also welcomed the two countries’ friendship exchange programme held this time, adding that this is a meaningful activity to show gratitude to Lao comrades who have stood shoulder to shoulder with their Vietnamese peers, and together recall the heroic memories of the two peoples in the struggle for national independence and defence in the past as well as in the nation building and development at present.
The leaders agreed on the importance of paying further attention to educating the people, especially the young generation, about the tradition of the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos; and continuing to stand side by side and coordinate closely to gain even greater victories.
