On behalf of the Vietnamese Party, State and people, Party General Secretary Trong extended his warmest sentiments and congratulations to the Lao Party, State and people, affirming that each victory in Viet Nam’s past struggle for national liberation and reunification as well as the achievements attained in its current cause of reforms and national construction and protection, have been closely associated with the solidarity, support and valuable assistance from the Lao Party, State and people.

President Ho Chi Minh’s words considering the Viet Nam-Laos sentiments deeper than the Red River and the Mekong River, have been carved into the hearts of all Vietnamese people today and forever, he emphasized.
The Party leader noted that in the current context of regionally and globally complicated developments, with both opportunities and challenges for the two countries, directive thoughts and cooperation contents mentioned in the bilateral Treaty on Amity and Cooperation, still maintain their values and will forever be a red thread throughout the development process of the relationship between the two Parties, States and peoples.

In order to strengthen comprehensive cooperation and lift the special relations between Viet Nam and Laos to a new level, both sides need to continue supplementing and finalizing mechanisms and policies, whilst effectively implementing the reached agreements and the envisaged strategic goals, with a broader, more comprehensive and longer-term vision, Trong said.
