Lao newspaper highlights Laos – Vietnam relations
Vientiane (VNA) - Pasaxon (The People), the official newspaper of the
Lao People's Revolutionary Party, on January 10 front-paged an article spotlighting the good relationship between Laos and
Vietnam, affirming that it has been increasingly consolidated and cultivated.
The article said the time has clearly proved that the good
traditional relationship between the two countries has been improved increasingly
in quality, and recorded fruitful achievements.
The bilateral cooperative relations are an important factor
contributing to the success of the national construction, development and defence
cause of each country, it stressed.
It recalled the past struggles for national liberation of the Vietnamese and Lao people, during which they stood shoulder to shoulder for the
victory of the liberation and reunification revolution of both countries.
The article also highlighted the development of the special relations between
the two countries, especially the signing of
the Vietnam-Laos Treaty
of Amity and Cooperation on July 18, 1977 in Vientiane, saying that the document was a legal
basis for further strengthening the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive
cooperation between the two Parties, States and their people in the new era.
The special
relationship has been promoted via new forms and principles on the basis of the
relationship between the two independent and sovereign countries, it said.
In recent times, the comprehensive cooperation between the two
countries has developed fruitfully across areas, the article said, noting that mutual
visits at all levels have created conditions for the two sides to have
substantive and detailed cooperation and share experience to each other.
The special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries will
be preserved as a valuable heritage for future generations, significantly contributing
to the mission of protecting peace, stability, and cooperation in the region
and the world, the article affirmed./.
