Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s regaining of independence in 1945 was of great significance to the revolutionary causes of three Indochina countries, said a high-ranking Lao diplomat.

Ambassador Kham-Inh Khitchadeth, Head of the Lao Permanent Mission to the UN, World Trade Organisation and other international organisations in Geneva, Switzerland, made the remarks while congratulating the Vietnamese mission on the country’s 72nd National Day (September 2).

The Lao diplomat congratulated Vietnam on its recent achievements and expressed his belief that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnamese people would obtain more important successes in the cause of national construction and development.

For his part, Ambassador Duong Chi Dung, Head of the Vietnamese permanent mission to the United Nations, World Trade Organisation and other international organisations in Geneva, stressed the 72-year development path of Vietnam since 1945 has seen milestones in its friendship and comprehensive cooperation with Laos.

He said the close coordination between the Vietnamese and Lao permanent missions in Geneva is also a demonstration of the Vietnam-Laos traditional relations and special solidarity.

Dung unveiled that in mid-September, the Vietnamese mission plans to hold a ceremony to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day and 40 years since it became an official member of the UN.-VNA
