Vientiane (VNA) - Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Ba Hung, on behalf of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, handed over 30,000 face masks to Sounthone Sayachak, head of the Lao Party Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, on November 6.

Ambassador Hung said that although Vietnam and Laos have both basically brought COVID-19 under control, they need to remain vigilant and continue supporting each other in carrying out preventive measures effectively.

Sayachak thanked Vietnam for its support in the context of the country facing a host of difficulties itself, in particular recent storms and flooding.

This is a clear demonstration of the special Laos-Vietnam relations, she said, adding that the gift will help her country continue to curb the pandemic./.
