The State President hailed the cooperation between the Presidential Office of Laos and Viet Nam and developments in the Viet Nam-Laos relations, especially the successful Viet Nam-Laos Solidarity and Friendship Year 2017 and the fruitful organization of the annual meeting of the two Political Bureaus and the 40th meeting of the Viet Nam-Laos Intergovernmental Committee in Vientiane in February 2018.

Viet Nam always gives the top priority to consolidating and enhancing the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation with Laos, he affirmed.
