The relationship the two nations have is a priceless mutual asset, stated the Vietnamese Party’s General Secretary Nong Duc Manh and General Secretary of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and State President Choummaly Sayasone.

They were of the view that the traditional ties have helped to guide both countries on the road to development and contribute decisively to national construction and defence of each country.

The two leaders are extremely proud of the special solidarity between the two parties, states and peoples and expressed their joy at the quality and effectiveness of the two countries’ comprehensive cooperation.

They unanimously agreed on major ways forward and measures to bring bilateral comprehensive cooperation to a new height, including intensifying political ties by holding regular high-level meetings and contact and boosting Party renewal and building work, while continuing to work together to compliment the history of Vietnam and Laos special relationship.

They also acknowledged the need to promote exchanges and education about the special solidarity between the two countries, enhance joint security and defence initiatives and maintain social order, as well as continuing to turn the Vietnam-Laos border into the one of peace, friendship, cooperation, and long-term sustainable development.

Both party leaders pointed to the necessity of expanding practical and effective cooperation between all ministries, sectors, localities and businesses.

The other measures the leaders discussed included working together to build a strategy for cooperation during the 2011-2020 period, accelerating educational and training links and jointly holding both countries’ major festivals in 2009 and 2010.

They said they were delighted with the two countries’ cooperation and mutual assistance in foreign affairs and agreed to continue with information exchanges and collaboration in international and regional issues. They will also liaise in multilateral organisations and forums, such as the UN, ASEAN, ASEAN+1, ASEAN+3, IPA, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Francophone network and the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia Development Triangle.

Party General Secretary Manh said that Vietnam supports Laos’ holding of the 25th SEA Games and will share with its neighbour its own experiences in holding the event as well as those regarding international economic integration.
