Thongloun emphasized the strategic importance of the Viet Nam-Laos relationship and its decisive role in the security and development of each country.
Laos will further support and do its best to preserve and foster this special relationship, ensuring it continues to flourish, he pledged.
The top Lao leader commended Viet Nam's accomplishments in politics, external affairs, national defense, security, and socio-economic development, describing them as lessons and a source of encouragement for Laos during its national construction and development./.
