The talks were part of a working visit to Laos by a high-ranking delegation of
the Vietnamese commission from May 22 to 24.
Welcoming the trip, President of the LFNC Central Committee Xaysomphone
Phomvihane, who is also a Politburo member of the Lao People’s Revolutionary
Party (LPRP), described the visit as a contribution to the great friendship and
special solidarity between Laos and Vietnam, as well as the cooperation between
the LFNC and the Commission for Mass Mobilisation.
Head of the Vietnamese commission Truong Thi Mai, who is also a Politburo member
of the CPV, congratulated Laos on its recent achievements and voiced her delight
at the substantive development of the Vietnam-Laos relations in all aspects.
The two sides informed each other of the current affairs of their respective
parties and countries, reviewed recent bilateral cooperation, and discussed
orientations for future collaboration.
They agreed to coordinate closely to effectively implement the agreements
reached between senior leaders of the two parties and countries, increase the
sharing of information about and experience in mass mobilisation, and boost
personnel training. They will also instruct Vietnamese and Lao localities to
enhance cooperation and step up communications to raise public awareness of the
significance of Vietnam-Laos relations.
Later on May 22, Mai chaired a seminar with the participation of officials of
the LFNC, LFNC’s member organisations, and commissions of the LPRP to look into
mass mobilisation work and the improvement of the parties’ leadership over their
people’s organisations amidst a market economy and international integration.
On behalf of Vietnamese Party and State leaders, Mai also presented third-class
Independence Orders to five LFNC officials and a first- and a second-class
Labour Order to two others who have contributed considerably to the friendship
and solidarity between the two countries.
