Moscow (VNA) – Lao Ambassador to Russia Shiphandone Oybuabuddy has affirmed that the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Laos and Vietnam are an invaluable asset, cherished, safeguarded and developed by generations of leaders and people of the two countries.
Visiting the Vietnamese Embassy in Moscow on September 15 to extend congratulations on Vietnam’s 81st National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2026), the diplomat noted that the Lao Embassy in Russia traditionally visits the Vietnamese Embassy every year to mark the date.
Shiphandone Oybuabuddy expressed his hope that the two sides would continue to maintain close coordination and support each other in diplomatic activities in Russia.

On the occasion, Khoi briefed the Lao side on the successful outcome of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam's state visit to Russia from September 7-9.
He said the historic visit by the top leader of Vietnam had achieved comprehensive and substantive results across all areas. The signing of a joint statement and a series of important cooperation documents not only firmly consolidated the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership but also opened up new and potentially transformative areas of cooperation.
