Vietnamese people consider preserving and developing the special relationship their own task, said Man, who is also VLFPG President.
The official highlighted the good legislative ties between the two countries, adding that joint efforts have been made to implement the agreement reached during the official visit to Laos by NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue last May.
The two legislatures have exchanged experience in law making and supervision, contributing to socio-economic recovery post COVID-19, Man said.
For people-to-people exchange, he suggested the two associations raise more initiatives and organise more activities to promote people-to-people diplomacy, thus contributing to the bilateral ties.
In reply, Boviengkham Vongdara briefed the host on operations of the Vietnam-Laos and Laos-Vietnam Friendship Associations with various activities in 2022 designated as the year of solidarity and friendship between the two countries.
The LVFA will work harder to contribute to the development of the Vietnam-Laos special friendship, he pledged./.
