The Vietnamese State leader hailed the success and meaning of the consultation, which, he said, contributed substantially to strengthening the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the countries.
Saleumxay Kommasith used the occasion to express his gratitude to the Vietnamese Party, State, and people for consistent supporting and standing side by side with the Lao Party, State, and people.
Both host and guest showed their elation at bilateral cooperation achievements obtained recently, particularly both sides’ close coordination as well as increased high-level exchanges and mechanisms for joint works.
They stressed that the Vietnam-Laos great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation are unparalleled in the world and that both nations should continue to nurture and educate their younger generations to uphold the ties.
Thuong thanked Saleumxay Kommasith for coordinating with Lao functional agencies to offer favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community living and working in Laos.
Given the rapidly changing and complex global and regional situation, they agreed on a need for the two countries to step up information exchange and work hand in hand at regional and international forums.
