Title: Vietnamese President Praises Laos' Progress in Vientiane Meeting

In the heart of Vientiane, President Luong Cuong of Vietnam recently held a summit with Saysomphone Phomvihane, President of the Lao National Assembly. This get-together took place as part of Luong's two-day state visit to the neighboring nation, with the primary agenda being to bolster bilateral ties.

Luong couldn't hide his excitement over Laos's development milestones, which have played a pivotal role in stabilizing the economy, reining in inflation, improving citizens' well-being, and elevating its global standing, including the triumph of the 2024 ASEAN Chairmanship and the 2024 ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) [1].

He expressed confidence that Laos would masterfully execute the Resolution of the 11th National Party Congress and the 9th Five-Year Socio-Economic Development Plan, and expertly strategize for the Party Congresses at every level and the 12th National Congress of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party [1].

Luong was deeply moved by the enduring friendship and solidarity that the Lao Party, government, and people have consistently extended to Vietnam. He greatly valued the proactive collaboration between the two National Assemblies in recent times, a collaboration that has significantly enriched the Vietnam-Laos friendship [1].

He shared insights on Vietnam's dramatic reform initiatives, including constitutional amendments and law revisions to establish a more beneficial legal framework for the upcoming developmental phase, aiming to transform Vietnam into an upper-middle-income nation by 2030 and a developed high-income country by 2045 [1].

Both leaders fiercely endorsed the strengthening and elevation of the mutual friendship, special camaraderie, and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos, regarding it as an invaluable asset and a key factor in the revolutionary journey of each nation [1].

They agreed to sustain regular high-level engagements and discussions, faithfully implement high-level agreements, including the one between the two National Assemblies, and intensify exchange and experience sharing in crafting and enhancing institutional frameworks and legal systems [1].

Both sides also emphasized the importance of addressing the institutional and mechanism-related challenges, thereby establishing a conducive legal environment for sustainable and mutually beneficial cooperation between businesses and localities from both nations [1].

The Lao National Assembly President professed his unwavering support for Vietnam's development strategies and objectives, promising ongoing close collaboration and continuous exchanges between legislative bodies to share experience in streamlining the bureaucracy and building a modern and adaptable political system [1].

Both leaders lauded the joint effort to compile and publish the book "50 years of relations between the Vietnamese National Assembly and the Lao National Assembly", which they believe will enhance public understanding and appreciation of the profound Vietnam-Laos relationship [1].

Finally, they pledged to bolster solidarity, continue collaborating closely, and offer each other support at regional and international forums, advocating for each nation's interests and concerns harmoniously within the framework of ASEAN and other multilateral organizations [1].
