He underlined the significance of the Vietnam-Laos special solidarity and the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia trilateral relationship and reaffirmed Vietnam's commitment to preserving and nurturing the special Vietnam-Laos ties, helping maintain political stability and socio-economic development of both nations.
This cooperation will serve as a foundation and driving force for taking bilateral relations to new heights.
