Building on the foundation of friendship carefully nurtured by previous generations of leaders of the two countries, on the high-level common perceptions that have been established, on the determination of agencies, sectors and localities, and on the support of the people of both countries, Viet Nam–China relations will certainly continue to develop in a stable, healthy and long-term sustainable manner, bringing more tangible benefits to the two Parties, States and peoples, and making increasingly positive contributions to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
On June 8 in Hanoi, a delegation from the Viet Nam-Laos Friendship Association, led by Nguyen Dac Vinh, Member of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the National Assembly’s Committee for Culture and Society, and President of the Association, paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister of the Lao People's Democratic Republic Sonexay Siphandone on the occasion of the Lao leader’s official visit to Viet Nam and his participation in the ASEAN Future Forum 2026. At the meeting, Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone affirmed that the Party, State, and people of Laos consistently attach great importance to and give top priority to preserving and promoting the great friendship, special solidarity, comprehensive cooperation, and strategic connectivity with Viet Nam.
Both sides agreed that the decision to elevate relations to a Comprehensive Partnership reflected not only the maturity of bilateral ties but also the untapped potential for broader cooperation in the years ahead.
