In the heart of coastal Hà Tĩnh province, Wharf No. 3 at Vũng Áng Port has become more than just an infrastructure project—it's a powerful symbol of the unbreakable bond between Vietnam and Laos. State President Lương Cường echoed this sentiment during a recent reception for General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central Committee and President Thongloun Sisoulith.
The inauguration of Wharf No. 3 not only represents a political and diplomatic milestone, but it also signifies the determination of both nations to deepen their economic relations and promote their development cooperation.

For the Lao leader, it's a strategic cooperation model with extensive political, economic, defense, and security implications. This reinforces the commitment of both governments to strengthen connectivity and development cooperation, a fruitful partnership demonstrated through infrastructure development that supports socio-economic growth in the region.
Vietnam's April 30 victory holds a special place in the hearts of both nations. President Lương described it as a glorious event born from patriotism, revolutionary spirit, resilience, and the aspiration for freedom and independence. He extended gratitude to Laos for its unwavering support throughout Vietnam's struggle for independence and nation-building efforts, stating that Laos stands alongside Vietnam, sharing hardships and successes.
President Thongloun Sisoulith expressed admiration for Vietnam's April 30 victory, regarding it as a significant triumph for revolutionary forces worldwide. He congratulated Vietnam on its historical achievements since the national reunification, expressing confidence that Vietnam will continue to excel in the future.
