Lao Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong’s visit to Vietnam demonstrates the special relationship between the two Parties, States and peoples, said State President Nguyen Minh Triet.

 At a reception for Mr Thongsing on March 1, President Triet expressed his delight at the positive development of bilateral relations and effective cooperation between the two countries in various fields.

 He praised the tremendous achievements recorded by the Lao people during the process of national construction and development and said he believed there would be  still greater achievements in building Laos into a country of peace, independence, democracy, unity and prosperity.

 Mr Triet asked leaders from the two countries to continue their close cooperation to boost socio-economic development and safeguard independence in their respective nations.

 President Triet wished the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party the best of good luck in successfully organising its 9th congress and 7th National Assembly election.

 Laos PM Thongsing said his visit aimed to further strengthen the friendship and close relations between the two Parties, States and peoples, for which late President Ho Chi Minh and late President Kaysone Phomvihane laid the foundations and the two countries have fostered.

 Mr Thongsing expressed his belief that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnamese people will successfully implement the resolutions adopted at the 9th National Party Congress and achieve the goal of a prosperous people living in a strong nation with democratic, just and civilised society.

 The Lao PM briefed President Triet on Laos’ preparations for its 9th Party Congress and seventh National Assembly election as well as the outcome of his talks with Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.

 Mr Thongsing stressed the Party, State and People of Laos will do their best to nurture and promote the friendship, solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
